RHH's photos with the keyword: castilleja parviflora var. oreoploa

Mark Egger has identified this as the Small-flowered or Magenta Paintbrush, Castilleja parviflora var. oreopola, a variety found only in the area of Mount Rainier. We were intrigued by the deep reddish-purple color of the bracts, a color we had not seen before. Photographed along a forest service road in the Greenwater area north of Mount Rainier. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/08/near-greenw...
