on April 16, 2012This is Castilleja either a high elevation form of C. fissiflolia or C. virgata, probably the former. It is definitely not C. pumila, which has a much shorter corolla beak and a distinctively marked, striped calyx. You have several correctly IDed photos of C. pumila elsewhere in this set.
Beautiful set of photos here!
