A flowering plant with bright red, orange, or yellow flowers that resemble flames, such as the Indian paintbrush or certain wildflowers.
Compound word from 'flame' and 'flower,' named for the vibrant, flame-like coloration of the blossoms.
Some flameflowers like Indian paintbrush are semi-parasitic—they don't just sit there looking beautiful; they actually steal nutrients from nearby plants while making themselves look brilliant red.
