Description: Two spiky red flowers with green bracts coming out looking the same as the red spikes of the flowers. Growing amid sagebrush. Wyoming paintbrush is often found growing among sagebrush. It can be differentiated from desert sagebrush by the green bracts. It also blooms later, peaking in mid-July. Paintbrushes are hemiparasitic: they do photosynthesize, but they also draw nutrients out from another plant, which they have latched onto.
