Indian Paintbrush


Having asked more than one person, more than once, what this particular flower is called, I have actually remembered. There's a couple places at Tommy Thompson where there's quite a lot of it, and it seems to be having a good year with the amount of rain we've been having.

    Common names can be confusing. What I consider Indian paintbrush is Castilleja sp. similar to http://em.ca/garden/native/nat_Castilleja%20miniata.html

    Thanks!

    I could presumably get samples, but taking flowers out of the park would be a bad precedent. (Along with unlawful. :)
