I liked the grey and white rock behind this vibrant red Paintbrush, seen at the Ing's Mine road parking lot area a couple of days ago. This small, gravel road is off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66) at the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains and is about 60 km from where I live. For those of you not familiar with this species, their color comes from dense, bright bracts that surround the actual green flower. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castilleja
