Dipped In Paint
Applegate&#8217;s Paintbrush is one of over two hundred species of paintbrush in the Figwort (or Snapdragon) (<I>Scrophulariaceae</I>) family. This species comes in a variety of shades of red, pink and sometimes yellow, boastful and conspicuous as they often grow in abundance, covering large areas.
