Comments

The flowers are really bright and conspicuous, but remain on the plant for some time even after they turn brown. The word 'puccoon' means that this plant was once the source of a dye – a reddish color that was used by Amerindians for pottery, basketry, and personal ornament in various ceremonies. Return
