How did you get your name,
what lies beyond your flame
of colors bright and true
that tells the story of you?
Splash of green and vibrant red
sunset colors dance across earth’s grassy bed,
lit from within you glow,
and brighten wherever you grow.

Nice, Sharon. They make me smile too. Don’t know who that Indian might have been but I’m so glad he/she visits our environs every year about this time to paint!

A Native American legend tells of a young lad who wanted to paint the sunset but didn’t know how, so the Great Spirit provided him with a paint brush filled with just the right colors…

I have also wondered where the name came from, smile whenever I see them appear.
