Daniel P Woods > Castilleja miniata (Paintbrush) Scrophulariaceae (Snapdragon Family) Montane, subalpine. Meadows. Summer. The gorgeous hot red/pink garners our attention, but the flowers are actually small green tubes: one is visible in the left picture near top center, the other at nine o'clock. As Castilleja plants age, the colored bracts spread upward and the flowers elongate and become more visible. These photos were taken in American Basin Co. and Crested Butte Co.

Daniel P Woods > Blue Flax Adenolinum lewisii grows up to three feet tall, with long slender stems that often lean, especially as buds develop and weigh down the tops of the stems. Stems will have from just five or six buds to dozens; each bud opens shortly after sunrise and lasts just part of the day; the number of hours the flower stays open depends on the intensity of the sun. On warm, sunny days, most flowers will close by early afternoon. On cloudy days, flowers may last until quite late in the afternoon. Synonym: Adenolinum lewisii. Linum lewisii. (Blue Flax) Linaceae (Flax Family) Semi-desert, foothills, montane, subalpine. Woodlands, openings, meadows. Spring, summer, fall.
