  • The desert Indian paintbrush is a common springtime bloomer throughout much of the American Southwest. This bright scarlet specimen was found growing in the dry sand on a canyon in Utah's Zion National Park.
    Desert Indian Paintbrush
  • Eastwood Indian paintbrushes thrive in arid, rocky canyons. This one was growing out of a crevice high up a rocky wall in Zion National Park.
    Eastwood Indian Paintbrush
  • These gorgeous spring bloomers are perfectly adapted to finding the best sources of water in the desert. By growing wedged into these cracks, they can tap into the parts of the canyon walls that retain the most water since the last rain, as seen here in Utah's Zion National Park.
    Eastwood Indian Paintbrush
  • A desert specialist, the Eastwood paintbrush thrives in the cracks in canyon walls of Zion National Park, and blooms a vibrant scarlet in the springtime.
    Eastwood Indian Paintbrush
  • The  Eastwood Indian paintbrush has found a special niche in its harsh desert environment in which to thrive. They are found almost exclusively in cracks and crevices in the canyon walls of Utah, Colorado and New Mexico.

  • These beautifully bright red woolly Indian paintbrushes were found growing in the desert at the base of the Chiricahua Mountains in Southeastern Arizona near the Mexican border. Easily identified by the short dense hairs on the leaves and stem, this semi-parasitic native wildlflower gains supplimental nutrients from neighboring plants.
    Woolly Indian Paintbrush
  • Also known as the desert Indian paintbrush, linearleaf Indian paintbrush,  narrow-leaved Indian paintbrush, and Wyoming desert paintbrush, this is one of the tallest of North America's Castilleja species, reaching upward to four feet and sometimes growing in such density that they can appear more like a shrub than the typical, low-growing singular forb wildflower one would expect to see among Indian paintbrushes. These unusually orange (they are usually red) beauties were found blooming in profusion in Utah's Arches National Park.
    Wyoming Indian Paintbrush (Castillej..lia)
  • Ranging from California to Texas along the US-Mexico border, and occurring south well into Mexico, the wooly Indian paintbrush is a native desert species of the Castilleja genus. This one was photographed on the road leading to the Chiricahua National Monument near Willcox in Southeastern Arizona.

  • This tall, beautiful member of the mint family is found up and down the Western coast of North America from Mexico to Alaska, and is most often associated with coastal woodlands that receive a lot of rain. I almost always see them in flower with large numbers of bumblebees every summer. These were found growing alongside a cold mountain stream in the Hoh Rainforest on Washington's Olympic Peninsula on a hot summer day.

  • The beach morning glory is a white, large flowering vine comon on the sandy beaches of the Southeast which helps retains sand on beaches to prevent erosion. These morning bloomers were photographed<br />
 on Florida's northern Gulf Coast on St. George Island near Apalachicola.

  • This lemony-yellow Indian paintbrush is a member of the broomrape family of paintbrushes that are found across much of the United States at high elevations. This one was photographed deep in rural Central Wyoming.

  • The sweet-scented heliotrope looked like a mini-morning glory to me at first glance, but a closer look showed this wonderfully scented member of the borage family is also the largest of America's native heliotropes. Like many desert wildflowers, the sweet-scented heliotrope opens in the evening and can be found in all of the southwestern states as well as Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas. This one was found in the early evening just after opening up in Utah's Moab Desert.

  • Serrulate penstemon growing on the western side of Oregon's Larch Mountain. Out of the many similar species of penstemon found in the Pacific Northwest, this one is easily identified by the serated, saw-like edges of its leaves.

  • The Mexican hedge nettle, contrary to its name, is a native member of the mint family found all along the west coast of North America from the California-Mexico border all the way north to Alaska. This one was photographed in the Hoh Rain Forest of Washington's Olympic Peninsula on a rare sunny late-August afternoon.

  • From the Caribbean and the Gulf Coast of Mexico to the Carolinas, the beach morning glory is a white, large flowering vine comon on the sandy beaches of the Southeast. This one was one of many blooming early on a springtime Florida morning on St. George Island.
