Castilleja - Scarlet Paintbrush (Castilleja coccinea) Indian Paint Brush Prairie Fire Wildflower Herb
Biennial
Full sun
Castilleja, commonly known as paintbrush, Indian paintbrush, or prairie-fire, is a biennial wildflower that typically grows less than 0.5 m in height, and consists of a basal rosette the first year and a flowering stalk the second year. The central stem is usually green or reddish brown and covered in small hairs. Leaves are alternately attached, stemless, medium green coloured, have entire margins, are lance shaped, and are deeply divided into 3 to 5 lobes, becoming smaller as they ascend the stem.
The actual flowers of Indian paintbrush are inconspicuous, tubular, greenish yellow, and are nestled in the axils of brilliantly coloured bracts (modified leaves) which can be red, orange, or yellow. It blooms April to July. The colouring of the bracts appear to have have been dipped in paint, hence the plants common name.
This wildflower has no surface for insects to land, and primarily attracts pollinators that can hover, such as Hover flies and Hummingbirds. The roots of this plant are unique in the way they help to prevent erosion, as it is a partially parasitic plant. Roots grow until they touch the roots of other plants, frequently grasses, and then penetrate the roots of these host plants to obtain a portion of their nutrients, which creates a more intricate root system with other surrounding plants that help prevent surface soil erosion.
Note: This rooting ability also makes Indian Paintbrush respond poorly to being transplanted.
This wildflower can be found growing naturally in moist forests, moist fields and meadows, prairies, and along stream or lake shorelines. Paintbrush does best in a prairie garden or wildflower meadow.
Prefers well draining, sandy or loamy soil
-
Seeding is the best way to plant Indian paintbrush because container-grown plants are difficult to transplant.
- Recommend sowing direct outdoors - mimicking nature - naturally, paintbrush seeds are sown once the ripe berries have become soft and turned orange or red from the end of winter to early summer; the seeds may take a few months to germinate and they need a period of cold stratification first.
- Height 1.5 ft
- OR you can experiment and start seeds indoors. Use biodegradable pots as they do not like to be transplanted. Place the seeds on the surface of your growing medium, and water in lightly from below. Place your container(s) in the fridge for 60 days. Once the cold period is completed, place the container at room temperature for them to germinate. Transplant the whole pot outdoors after all risk of frost has passed. PR

Beautiful, versatile bag with standout details
Color: Mk Signature/Vanilla/Acorn
This is a stunning bag, especially in the vanilla color. The hardware and overall detailing feel high quality and really elevate the look. It is the kind of piece that gets noticed and works well as a statement accessory without being over the top.
Even though it is on the smaller side, it still holds a surprising amount, and the size keeps it comfortable to carry without feeling bulky. I also love the versatility of being able to use the top handles or attach the crossbody strap depending on the situation. It pairs just as well with casual outfits as it does with more dressed-up looks for a night out.
While this bag does have a premium price tag, it does not feel like they skimped on any details or hardware so that feels like a good value there. I also appreciate the two-in-one versatility, which also helps when considering the cost of this bag as well.
Overall, this is a beautiful and functional bag that I have really enjoyed, and I would definitely recommend it to others.

I'm in love
Color: Chambray, Color: Chambray
YES, PLEASE, and WOW!!! Let me start by saying I have never owned a Michael Kors purse before. I know they are extremely popular and a lot of women carry them. But, after receiving this little GEM, I can definitely see the appeal! She is absolutely BEAU..tiful. First, the COLOR... this blue screams spring and summer. The SIZE is perfect. I used to carry big purses and over the years have reduced it down significantly and carrying much less than I used to. So now I only carry small purses. It has more than adequate room for everything that I need on a daily basis. It has an inner open pocket and large open area inside. There is also a zippered pocket outside for quicker access. The DESIGN is so cute! I think they call it a barrel or duffel bag shape. Love it. Very easy to carry with handles, or by using the adjustable shoulder strap. Either is very sturdy and secure feeling. All the hardware is top notch. Everything is wrapped individually and protected from scratches during shipment. The blue "MK" embossed leather is soft to the touch, but durable and really makes this purse. It has 4 metal "feet" studs on bottom to protect the leather. This little cutie is obviously professionally made with an eye on quality, design, comfort, versatility, and perfection. I know she cost a pretty penny, but now I can honestly see why as it is an extremely well made purse. There is the value for the cost. Definitely recommend.
