1189 - AlpenPix (Garden) - 2006-12-20 (Dimension: 900 x 510 pixels - Counter: 5123) Castilleja rhexifolia Photographer: Jane Hendrix Note: Rosy Paintbrush, a Colorado subalpine to alpine species. 6-12 inches tall; various colors from a reddish-purple to rose, pink, salmon and even bicolors with white; full sun to part shade; rich, moist soil; blooms in late spring. This Castilleja and other Castilleja species in my garden do not appear to require a host as long as they get ample food to eat and water to drink. (Click on the picture to enlarge) |
