Castilleja miniata is one of our native species, which has been doing nicely out in the front yard from 3 plants purchased from a local grower 9 years ago, and has been producing a small number of seedlings in the last few years.
Emerging mid-May, and in bloom by mid-June this late year:

This is a lovely larger species from damp sights.
I have not had the opportunity to collect seed from this species but hope to.
Lori when you purchased these plants were they potted up with a host?
