Flower Genetics

 I have photographed the Indian Paintbrush at Illinois Beach State Park for a number of years.  There was an area that was all yellow paintbrush.

 And there was an area in a different location of all red paintbrush.

This year there were a lot of flowers and they seemed to have mixed together.

 This created a different color. They were kind of orange, kind of salmon colored.

Here you can see the yellow and red combined.  Oh the fun of it all.
