Paintbrush / Castilleja miniata

Paintbrush / Castilleja miniata
A rather pretty and less common mix of colours in this Paintbrush plant, found at Elkton Bog, near Cremona (NW of Calgary) on a botanizing trip, 30th July last year. Castilleja miniata is commonly known as Giant Red Indian Paintbrush. "The inflorescence is made up of bright red to pale orange or orange-tipped bracts. Between the bracts emerge the yellow-green, red-edged tubular flowers." From Wikipedia.

Note: Mark Egger is a long-time expert on Castilleja (and other species!). He writes below: "I suspect these are not pure C. miniata, but perhaps a hybrid oc miniata x lutescens." Thanks so much, Mark!
