One of my favorite wildflowers is Castilleja angustifolia (desert paintbrush). They brighten up the desert wonderfully! It is a semi-parasite plant usually robbing nutrients from grasses that it grows with. The flowers are actually the green-yellow tubes. The bright red part are bracts.

@ambivalena They are! Little pops of red in an otherwise dry landscape. (Well, it's greening up nicely now with pops of yellows, whites, and blues, too!)
