  • Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja) flowers bloom orange on Ninemile Ridge Trail, in the Blue Mountains, Umatilla National Forest, Pendleton, Oregon, USA. Castilleja (Indian Paintbrush or Prairie-fire) is a genus of about 200 species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants native to the west of the Americas from Alaska south to the Andes, plus northeast Asia. These plants are classified in the family Orobanchaceae and are hemiparasitic on the roots of grasses and forbs.

  • A Tragopogon dubius flower blooms yellow on Ninemile Ridge Trail, Blue Mountains, Umatilla National Forest, Pendleton, Oregon, USA. Tragopogon dubius (commonly known as Yellow Salsify, Western Salsify, Goatsbeard, or Wild Oysterplant) is native to southern and central Europe and western Asia. After introduction into North America, it spread widely (invasively) across the continental United States and most provinces of Canada. The flowers open early in the morning and often close up by late afternoon. The seed head resembles that of a large dandelion. Western Salsify (T. dubius) looks very similar to the commoner Meadow Salsify (T. pratensis) except the green bracts behind the yellow flower are longer and more noticeable. Although not closely related to Meadow Salsify or Common Salsify or Oyster Plant (T. porrifolius), the Western Salsify readily hybridizes with both, and in North America its hybrids have created the new alloploid hybrid species T. mirus and T. miscellus.
