    One of the prettiest wildflowers that grows along the Alaska Highway in both Canada and Alaska is the Indian paintbrush seen here. This bright red splash of color is usually about the diameter of a quarter or a little larger and slightly over an inch-and-a-half tall from where it perches at the top of the stem.

    You can find these almost anywhere in roadside ditches, on hillsides or in creek bottoms. Blooms are generally not too close together.

      When we drove through the area earlier this year, the predominant road side flower was dandelions. Until this trip to Alaska, I had never realized that danedlions deserved to be called pretty.

      We have an Indian paintbrush but it does not look like this plant in the picture.. It is more orange and opens during the day but closes as the sun goes down…

      It is at roadside and in large fields as you drive or hike along…

      We have the Indian Paintbrushes here in TX, too. They grow along the roadsides with the Blue Bonnets. Sometimes the Highway Dept. sows them, that way they don’t have to mow so much and the roads still look pretty. Happy Trails. Penny, TX
