Across the meadows of Sauk Mountain in July, this plant is prevalant. Very fragrant, I could smell it just standing there on the switchback. Lovely.

Indian Paintbrush
Castilleja indivisa--Texas Paintbrush. Wow, I've never seen a red and white plant before. They are prolific in the mountains and always reminded me of a plant dipped in red paint.
Indian Paintbrush
Indian Paintbrush is also called Prairie-fire. It was named by the Spanish botanist Domingo Castillejo.
Indian Paintbrush
Wild flowers cover the meadows in the mountains of the PNW. It was a heavy snow last winter and long to melt. The flowers are lush.

Fireweed
Blooms this time of year, usually in places that have burned, thus its name. But it grows in many other places too, and the shoots are good to eat. Some say they taste like asparagus.
