Almost looks like a fourth of July display with this top down view of the bloom. Neat touch to get the water droplets like this.

Is that really its name? It's a crazy cool flower, so it deserves a name that awesome. Great work Kurt.

Thank you. Actually, I believe the droplets are pollen. I was most likely just barely over exposed and it caused that effect.

Thank you. This is Indian paintbrush, actually. The name came to me out in the field so I looked for the right grouping to make that happen (sorta).
