Yellow Paintbrush Photo, Wrangell - St. Elias NP, Alaska.
Hey Folks,
Here’s a photo of a Yellow or Coastal Paintbrush (Castilleja unalaschensis). Taken in Wrangell St. Elias National Park, Alaska. I’m eagerly waiting spring this year here to really get some more photos of the flowers in the area. The flowers don’t really hit the high country until July, but hopefully I’ll get some opportunities in the lower country, in the forest, in the spring.
Cheers
Carl

Hmmmm, wonder if we should let Carl know Alaska doesn’t really have spring, just winter, summer and oh yeah break-up…..

Hey Musa
Is that true? No spring at all? I know what you said isn’t true, because I know there’s a fall/autumn season - I’ve seen it. The whole week long.
Cheers
Carl

Hey Mark,
Yeah, they’re really cool flowers - and they blow in the SLIGHTEST breeze and won’t stay still!
Cheers
Carl
