Indian Paintbrush

Orange hawkweed appearing. In 1972, Allyn and I spent the winter together working in the Mt. Snow area. We stayed throughout the summer there in a cabin in the woods. Growing up in California, I was totally unprepared for the profusion of wildflowers. The first one to catch my eye was the orange hawkweed, also known as Indian Paintbrush in some circles. I remember it like it was yesterday. In some ways that might have been the start of what has become this blog.
