Description
Uncropped macro image, captured near Brenham, Texas, showing three scarlet Indian paintbrush. These are a native Texas wildflower commonly appearing along the road and in fields in springtime--often found mixed with bluebonnets, the official flower of the great state of Texas.
These three, with two in focus on a dark-green background of foliage in bokeh, show the bright coral tones of just one of 200 varieties of Indian paintbrush. Assorted foliage of the Texas prairie fills the blurred green background.
Most likely this Castilleja indivisa, the variety commonly known as Texas paintbrush or entire leaf Indian paintbrush. But even this type of paintbrush can produce light yellow or white blossoms, making positive identification challenging. Nevertheless, these are especially bright and beautiful. This image works great for all the products!
