The Official Wyoming State Flower

Indian Paintbrush

The Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja linariaefolia) is an iconic flower of the Western United States, and is the official state flower of Wyoming. The flower, which ranges in color from yellow to vibrant red, is found in meadows and along roadsides throughout the state. It is a member of the figwort family and gets its name from the brightly colored bracts around the flowers, which look like a painter's brush. The flower typically blooms from late spring to early summer and is an important source of nectar for native bee species. It became the state flower of Wyoming in 1917, due to its abundance in the state and its unique beauty. The Indian Paintbrush is a symbol of the beauty of the Wyoming landscape and an important part of the state's history and culture.
