ndn paintbrush beaded earrings
castilleja, often called ndn paintbrush, can be tricky to cultivate on purpose—they need a host plant to latch onto, which is why you don’t often see them growing in pots or traditional gardens. still, they’re striking flowers that light up otherwise muted prairie landscapes. the name comes from their vivid shape, resembling a paintbrush dipped in red. many tribes across the u.s. have deep connections to this plant, using it in both practical and symbolic ways. castilleja are uniquely adapted for pollination by hummingbirds, which help carry their pollen across long distances between their usually sparse and scattered populations.
the earrings are made with matte japanese seed beads and sterling silver ear wires. they are 5 inches long and 1.25 inches wide.
