SCADOXUS 'PAINTBRUSH'
 

Here is a picture of a Scadoxus Puniceus Paint Brush flowering in my back garden at the moment. Very aptly known by the name Paint Brush. It is indigenous to our area.

Very cool looking flora! :):Tup:

Wow, cool flower and very apt name!

That's so cool! It's neat to see a "paintbrush" from another continent!

North America has its own version of a "paintbrush" (probably several actually, but I only know one). Personally, I think your paintbrush looks a bit more brushlike. It actually has "bristles"!

Genus: Castilleja

The Castilleja is the red. The purple is alpine lupine. I wish I had some of my close-ups or a picture with more paintbrush in it. It's usually denser, but lupine is a very aggressve plant.

Hi Evan thanks for the pic what a lovely show that makes.
