   I'm thinking this is Indian Paintbrush. If not and you recognize it please correct me. A few of these grow along my creek in the front yard every summer and I try to weedeat around them. I think I found 4 yesterday and 3 hopefully survived although one was a near miss. I really like them.

Indian Paintbrush

There is a weed around here I was told was Indian Paintbrush and it's nothing like that !! Starting to think that some of those summer camp conselors from the early '60s knew nothing !!!!

funny you should say that.  there was a plant like that at camp Alexander in Colorado.  it was stated to be protected and endangered, and you could be fined for picking or destroying one.  not sure if that was camp lore, rules state or otherwise.  I will see if my son can remember the name.

I learned that what we used to call Indian Paint Brush in Oregon is not the same plant as what folks around here call Indian Paint Brush, so maybe both are right.

I asked my son William what was the name of the plant at camp that they said would get you fined if you picked it, and he said "Indian paintbrush".  it had smaller flowers and not so many.  It grew all over at camp, and you were afraid to even step on it! 8)

  I think that is what it is. Furby sent me a PM with the same info and I think you are both right. I still like them even if it isn't a tool for applying colorful coatings by aboriginal indigenous residents. :D

We have a lawn weed here called devil's paint brush or orange hawkweed (Hieracium aurantiacum), most are yellow hawkweed. I see very few orange ones. This is the first year in a long time I have even seen black eyed susan popping up.

Swampdonkey, after some serious searching, I found that Hawkweed is what I always thought was Indian Paintbrush. It's an irritating weed.
