Indian Paintbrush / Castilleja miniata

HAPPY CANADA DAY, everyone! It always feels as though summer is finally here when I see Paintbrush flowers in full bloom. Photographed this bright beauty on June 27th at Bow Valley Provincial Park. The actual flowers are the green parts, and the red are bracts. This native plant belongs to the Orobanchaceae family. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castilleja
