Description Indian paintbrush - Castilleja. It is actually not the expected flower part (the petal) that makes this plant so colorful. It is the bracts, modified leaves that surround the flower. Per Wikipedia: "The flowers of Indian paintbrush are edible, and were consumed in moderation by various Native American tribes as a condiment with other fresh greens...Indian paintbrush has similar health benefits to consuming garlic if only the flowers are eaten in small amounts and in moderation. The Ojibwe used a hairwash made from Indian paintbrush to make their hair glossy and full bodied, and as a treatment for rheumatism...Nevada Indian tribes used the plant to treat sexually transmitted diseases and to enhance the immune system."
