Description:

Another day, another gorgeous Castilleja! This one is found in the subalpine and has a striking contrast between the bright red of the flowers and the dark reddish green of the stems. Castilleja, in general, is very difficult to grow in captivity, so if you have it growing natively on your property, cherish it!
