Castilleja indivisa (also called Indian Paintbrush) blooming in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on May 4, 2024
Some of the camera settings that I used to make this photo are at: https://www.rsok.com/~jrm/2024May06_birds_and_cats/2024may04_paintbrush_IMG_9707c.html

@kas I'll see if I can get over to look at some of the plants this year (hard now to walk out of the yard with this pesky kitty hanging around, I'd have to get my friend to distract him while I escape-- would not want him to follow me down the road!) Until that happens, I dug up some *old* photos from one of the 2 nearby pops: first a couple of shots that show more or less typical #Castilleja miniata colours- they can probably be seen a bit darker/lighter

@cohanf LOL, I've done the same with #Tulipa sprengeri (because Tulipa tarda seems to be able to propagate itself that way) — with nothing to show for it so far.
I didn't know the #Castilleja until now. Such beautiful plants. Do you know the species of the one you've been sowing?
I notice that Castilleja is in the #Broomrape family. I've had success with Ivy-Broomrape, #Orobanche hederae, that is now growing on the Ivy that is covering a long wall. But Castilleja seems to have chlorophyll and everything, so it's not a parasite like its cousin, the Ivy-Broomrape, is it? -
