Paintbrush
I believe this is Harsh Paintbrush, Castilleja hispida, but I find the Indian Paintbrushes very difficult to tell apart. These were photographed on Manastash Ridge south of Ellensburg, Washington, on the Ray Westberg trail. Manastash and Umtanum Ridges, which lie between the Kittitas Valley and Yakima, are a wildflower paradise in the spring. The imbedded photos show some of the views from the ridge and some of the wildflower meadows.

Ron, this is just WOOOONNNNNNDERFUL!!!!! I LOVE these Paintbrushes, and yes I totally agree, they are a bear to identify. We have several on our property and they are not easy to tell apart! So beautiful though. Love this grouping of them, I usually zero in on one or two, but this is a gorgeous display!

Your inset images are all fabulous and really give depth to today's display! I absolutely LOVE ipernity's ability to put pictures in notes...you can really dress up your picture this way and give it so much more depth and meaning. I couldn't pick a favorite of all these images, they are each fantastic and beautiful! Thanks for the glorious show, I just LOVED IT!!! *high five*

Great shot, Ron, and it brings back memories of the Indian Paintbrush I used to enjoy when I lived in Colorado.
