Indian Paintbrush
Castilleja linariaefolia

Indian Paintbrush or Painted Cup (Castilleja linariaefolia) was adopted as the State Flower of Wyoming on January 31, 1917. The roots of the painted cups are partially parasitic on the roots of other green plants. Their true flowers are inconspicuous, but are commonly enveloped by bright red flowerlike bracts.
