Couldn't resist taking a shot or two of this beautiful orangy-red Painbrush with orange Lichen growing on the rock in the background. Saw this on Saturday, when three of us went on the amazing hike to Gunnery Pass. Usually, my Paintbrush photos have a dark green background of leaves, so I thought it would be fun to shoot it differently this time. A rather messy photo, but different : ) Love the way there are so many colours of Paintbrush, from yellow, to almost white, bright red to deep red, pink to salmon. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this wildflower, the bracts are red and the flowers are green with red tips. "This is probably a reddish morph of C. rhexiifolia (usually crimson to purplish but sometimes to look like C. miniata...)" Thanks to Mark Egger for this ID!
