Castilleja indivisa
This showy annual or biennial grows 6-16 in. high. Its several unbranched stems form clumps topped by bright-red, paintbrush-like spikes. The flowers are actually inconspicuous and greenish, but are subtended by showy, red-tipped bracts. Together, the flowers and bracts form 3-8 in. spikes.
One of the spring wildflowers at Heritage Elementary School's Twelve Ecological Zones of Texas Demonstration Garden. The prolonged cold this year has slowed the blooming and growth of the garden.
