Last Monday's barn photo included a sprinkling of Indian Paintbrushes in a pasture. A couple of you expressed interest in seeing them up close (there's one shot in my header, actually).
First, here's a small patch growing in Next Door Neighbor's pasture. Several fields on the way to town are blanketed in their coral/orange hues each spring.
And here are some blooms from our back pasture.
They range in color from hot fuschia
to soft pastel pink.
I love them as much as our bluebonnets.
Speaking of bluebonnets, just in case you're not sick of seeing them, a patch from the front field...
Ahhh...
The blossoms are fading for this year. I've got one more set of pics of them I might force upon you, yet...

Beautiful.enjoy a happy sunny suday......love from me....xxx..
The paintbrushes look like the flowers growing in patches on I 95, south NC.
I have Bluebonnet in the fridge. I use it all the time. :p
And thanks again to you we have some of these pretty little flowers. They have lasted much longer than the bluebonnets. I can't wait until spring next year to see how many return.
The Paintbrushes are beautiful close up, I love the color. You can post flowers and birds anyday, I love them all!
Oh, I wish we had wildflowers like that in Virginia! Do these both bloom all summer?
Thanks for sharing them with us. All we seem to have are buttercups....
They look tiny, but also look big.
Thank you, they are so pretty and cheered me up this morning . . .
The Paintbrushes are beautiful and so are the Bluebonnets. If anyone tells you they are sick of them, I would look into having them committed. ;)
They are indeed lovely. Part of the magic of flowers is their brief visit each spring and summer. Our Indian paintbrush is just coming out in the hills.
thanks, i love these and the blue bonnets. can you pick either of them and bring them in to put in a vase? i love wild flowers and especially when i can bring them inside.
I can't get enough of these wildflowers. Bring 'em on!
I love those happy flower faces! Could NOT ever get tired of seeing your fields of flowers!
Adorei... campos em flor.
Sou louca por flores... vê-las pertinho, sentir o perfume.
Boa semana!
Beijinhos.

What a great name for these lovely flowers!
I'm so fond of Indian Paintbrush, and I've never seen them in coral, so this was a special treat. Never hesitate to post Bluebonnets, as I don't think many of us get to see them in our areas.
The color of the paintbrushes is so unusual, I think that's why I like ti so much.
I wonder why bluebonnets only grow in Texas? It's kind of neat that it's that way, though. Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson sing a neat song about that. I like the Indian paintbrushes, too!
I hate it when beauty fades. I wait all winter for our irises and they go sooooo fast. Boo Hoo.
Gorgeous n so delicate!
Great color! Did you have your clothes on when you took these? LOL
(I just read your comment on Val's blog about her towel shooting moment)
They are very pretty. Take those wildflower photos while you can!
great close ups!! what a beautiful flower.
then again...what flower isn't!
OH and you don't have to FORCE flower pic's on me...i'll take 'em freely!
lovely flowers, smell like spring this shoots
Lovely! You can keep forcing these pictures upon us!
lovely! There's so much going on with these tiny flowers. Love the watercolour colours.
I love seeing patches of color in fields of green!
What beautiful splashes of color! Wonderful. :)
ooohhhh force away!! i always love whatever you are sharin'!! i especially love the varity of things you photoghaph...my only wish is that you would "talk" more!!
they looked a lil peachy to me in the first picture!!
Those are pretty. I would love to see them growing in my fields.
Hey Teresa...Lovely ..spring is so gorgeous ..wish the flowers lasted longer..these are so beautiful!!
I don't get tired of your Bluebonnets :}}}
Grace
They are beautiful! I can take the pictures you want to share with us.
Share! Yes, share some more!
I wonder why they call them Indian Paintbrushes? Interesting. They are very pretty. :)
just so pretty! another gift!!
I'll never tire of the wildflowers in springtime! They are so pretty.
Paintbrushes and Bluebonnets, sure spruces up the countryside. Nice!
Lovely! Never tire of seeing beautiful blooms!
Ah green and colour...but heh... I have brown one day...and white the next:)
Both of these flowers are so pretty. I am amazed at the large field filled with them.Where I live the armers would likely go in and kill them,because they 'might' hurt the cattle or something crazy like that.
They are so sweet and beautiful! Thanks for this pretty view of Spring-just what I needed this morning :) It's starting to green up here, too...we had an inch of rain several days ago, AND...it's raining right now! YAY!!!
These are beautiful you live in a little bit of heaven!
Beautiful images.. the flowers are lovely and it's great to see all the greenery..
Indian paint brushes are my favorite...we need to go to our property and see if we have any this year...
Those are wonderful wildflowers. I have never seen those before.
I really enjoy seeing your wild flowers. I am glad the cows didn't break in and eat them all.
After last summer, I bet you really are loving all of that green.
I would love to see the spring blooms of TX again...miss those brilliant colors of your spring.
BlessYourHeart
Always enjoy your flowers and those are two that I miss here in the northwest! Beautiful captures as always!
On of my favorites. Love the bluebells too.
Wow, they are fun flowers! Love the great colors-enjoy:@)
Beautiful!
Wish I could see both your Indian Paintbrushes and bluebonnets here.
Love to see more of them.
Oh please do (force them on us). Love Indian Paintbrush, we do see that plant when we travel, even in Eastern Oregon...but I never tire of it. And the bluebonnets, only in Texas.
According to the television, there are several natural disasters in Texas. But not in your area, I see. It looks beautiful with all those flowers. Greetings, Wout
Mmmm...looks like a perfect place for a picnic! Lovely!
xo Catherine
T, they are very pretty! I'd love to see both them and the bluebonnets up close and personal!
Oh, such a beauty!
They're both so pretty by themselves but when clustered together they're gorgeous!
Well--I love Indian Paintbrush--but I REALLY love Texas Bluebonnets... Do you have Evening Primrose also? I used to love seeing the 3 in combination...
Have a great day, Pretty Lady.
Hugs,
Betsy
The Paintbrushes and Bluebonnets are beautiful. I wish we had them here.
You don't have to force me to look at flowers or barns!
Beautiful flowers, I always enjoy seeing the Indian Paintbrush!
P.S. I know I would love to see more of the Bluebonnets too! :)
The flowers are beautiful. I've been hunting flowers all day and putting them in the dye pot to dye my yarn. I bet they could make some beautiful colored yarn.
I wish they grew here.
I love wildflowers!
lovely picture that first one especially it is a nice peaceful landscape. I like the color range of the Indian paintbrushes. thank you for sharing them

I love the colors, the flowers are so beautiful, it's to bad they only last for a little while.
Beautiful flowers, and everyone is wild, wild, wild.
Beautiful flowers. Never seen this before.
Thanks for sharing.
Great series from you.
From Hilda
Love that colorful carpet, and the new header....so very Tex Wis :) Many of my favorite of your subjects are represented.
Nice place you're living in girl.
OH perfect! I see a bit of a difference between these and the ones in British Columbia...these are more delicate looking and have softer colors while the ones in BC are more rugged and have more vibrant colors. Each is pretty in it's own right. It must be wonderful to look out at you pastures and see these and the bluebonnets painting the view! The storms missed us here in the country but hit my hubby's workplace in the city. Not sure if he'll be back at work tomorrow. He was working this weekend (nights) and actually left the house to drive to work as the tornado was leaving the city...men ;) but had to return as they weren't letting anyone onto the property. It was quite the night. I hope things were calmer down there in Texas. Enjoy your Sunday. Maura :)
What a beautiful sight.
So beautiful. I love that coral color!
Been missing my blogger friends. I hope I can catch up soon....
hugs
Love Indian Paintbrushes! It will be July before I see them here . . .
I see these flowers in our canyons here in SoCal when I go out hiking with my dog. This year though, have not seen them as we did not get much rain during the winter. We have been getting our rains late this year.
Kay
Force away. Both the Indian paint brushes and the Bluebonnets are lovely and worth seeing often.
I like the colour. Can you eat this flowers? A green salad with some flowers looks great.
Have a nice day.
Indian Paintbrushes and Bluebonnets...how nice is that? I am looking forward to the next installment.
I've never heard of indian paintbrushes before it is very pretty though. Lovely shades of pink and red. The fields are looking very pretty.
Hi TexWisGirl, Oh now you are showing me what I miss about no longer living there in Northeast Texas! Torture by blossom! Ha! I do love both types of the wildflowers. Have a great coming week and enjoy your fine views!
i'm late but i'm finally here!
i've never heard of indian paintbrushes before, either.
what lovely fields...makes me want to go running in all those beautiful flowers!
Lovely wild flowers ,Natures great, ever few weeks something new pops up to delight us. well done
Peter
These are just beautiful, and the last time I saw them, I was in....TEXAS!!!!
Sending you wishes for a wonderful start to your week!
You have such pretty colors in the spring! Can't wait until you "force" the rest of the photos on us. :)
Well, I, for one, eagerly await your other flower photos! These Indian Paintbrushes were just beautiful, and I loved the bluebonnets...so bring 'em on!
The Paintbrushes are gorgeous, lovely wildflowers. Beautiful shot, Theresa.
it is just delightful to see the spring flowers in your fields; nature is special
If April showers bring May flowers, I should have some flower pics for you next month! I love your wild flowers though! The bluebonnets most of all.
Cheers,
Jo, Stella and Zkhat
We came across some on our trail ride this morning. So bright and cheerful!
Beautiful wildflowers. sandie
Already?! We are so far way from this plant.
Thanks for visiting!
Greetings from Cottage Country!
These are some amazing photos. I love country no matter where it comes from.
Tim
I'm enjoying the gorgeous colors!
Just gorgeous. My fav wildflower that blooms here also. It come in July and August and in a few colors.
Loved your post.
They're beautiful! Love the colors.
I'm partial to the color of the paintbrush. Great, rich, coral colors!
I have always loved Indian paintbrush and blue bonnets! I love how the Texas highways are always painted with flowers in the spring!
Really beautiful pictures of the flowers. I never get tired of seeing the blue flowers! Please, post more. :-)
How are they going to hold up if your friendly MOO visitors come back tromping thru your fields. We had one out in the road the other day, and I immediately thought of you and that post. Your fields are just so pretty. Am keeping my fingers crossed that Mr. Steven’s Farm has the fields of red poppies again this year. Thanks for all of you kind words. The fire nearest us is only 30% under control, and if the winds shift again we are going to be beck in the evacuation area...YUCK! Have been in bed all day Thursday , Friday, and today trying to get the spasms under control. I have been pain free all day today so I am upbeat that all will go OK with school starting back in the morning. I have had this since I was 13, so it is basically a way of life with me. And things could be a lot worse.Take care and have a nice week filled with not too much work on the ranch and lots of picture taking. genie
Those are gorgeous wildflowers! I'd love to have a field of wildflowers like that!
Lovely to see up close and personal! Glorious as a carpet, and individually too. They are so delicate. Margie
You make my heart just pitter-pat! I miss these beautiful Texas blooms! I always loved the Indian Paintbrush as much as the Bluebonnets, too!
***LOVE***
Beautiful. I love all of them, but a little partial to the bluebonnets. Have a great week.
Those bluebonnets are gorgeous! I lived in Texas years and years ago ... I forgot how pretty the spring was.
The close-up image on pic#2 looks 3-D and it's like it is popping out of the laptop screen. Great takes.
I don't think anyone gets tired of seeing wildflowers in picture or in person. All the yellow and orange flowers on our way to Hondo Easter sunday were beautiful too.
The bluebonnets, paintbrushes, and Indian blanket flowers are some things I definitely miss about Texas. Superb captures!
I'm "trying" not to be jealous of all your pretty wildflowers, but it's NOT WORKING!
Enjoy!!! :)
Gorgeous flowers. We have them up on Mt. Lemmon and it's always fun to find them along the trails. I've never seen them grow in bunches like you have over there. Beautimous!
Gorgeous blossoms! The colors are delightful!!
It feels like it's spring in the air / Brita
Oh, the flowers are just soooo beautiful!
Keep the pics of the bluebonnets coming - it snowed in the mts last night! It will be awhile before I'll see those lovely paintbrush.
So beautiful!
What great flowers. They remind me of the flush of spring flowers I used to see in woodlands in the UK.
The battle against the virus continues - I think I may be starting to win!

Hello Theresa,
Wonderful all these brightly colored spring flowers. It's a great time to see all the flowers are coming up.
Much greetings,
Marco
Beautiful! You can show me all the flowers you want, I never get tired of lovely blooms.
Beautiful flowers!! Thanks for sharing.
Such lovely wildflowers -- I wish they grew in Nebraska!
There's only one thing that could improve these beautiful photos...your fur babies! I just love these flowers...so gorgeous!
There is no where on earth like springtime in Texas! Breathtaking!
Cudownie wyglądają takie ukwiecone kwiatami pastwiska.Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
Wonderful flowers look like those flowery meadows. Best regards.
Such wonderful splashes of color from both flowers. Who could ever get tired of the Bluebonnets? (not me!)
Oh, these are so appealing...you should do a painting of them. I do think they would be so lovely.
It might be wrong for this native to admit it but I love these better than the bluebonnets.
These are so lovely.
How gorgeous. And I love the name Indian Paintbrushes, I wonder how that came about. I have seen these in the mountains of canada, but later in the year. A fabulous sight!
Thanks for coming up with the close view of the paintbrushes. The flowers were very pretty and stunning in color!
