White Paintbrush
This is probably Castilleja parviflora var. albida but apparently this species hybridizes quite easily so it's tough to be specific (and I know nothing). Tags: plant

Wild Carrot Undershot
Yes, it is cliché, but sometimes a cliché is better than no shot at all. I wound up lying on a bunch of blackberry so getting up wasn't too comfortable. Species: Daucus carota (wild carrot, Queen Anne's lace, bird's nest)

Bright Golden Aster In Dry Grass
I like how you get a splash of colour in a dry and drab background of dead grass. The park labeled this as "Chrysopsis villosa", but apparently that name is now out of date - it's "Heterotheca villosa var. villosa" Species: Heterotheca villosa (hairy false goldenaster, hairy goldenaster)

Antelope Brush
This plant and it's crazy deep roots (much deeper than the plant is tall) is the cornerstone of this ecology. Species: Purshia tridentata (antelope bitterbrush)
