That doesn't look like the indian paintbrush that I know. It actually looks like a type of invasive dandelion relative, I've forgotten its name. But it's a member of that family.
Notice how little this plant looks like the one you photographed:
So I tried to narrow it down to the region in which I live. As far as I could tell, what we have is Castilleja coccinea. This is what we grew up calling them.
The flower looks the same but the leaves look a little different. Anyways, I was taught that this plant, whatever it is, is called, "Indian Paintbrush".
True paintbrushes are members of the Castilleja genus. Someone taught you wrong! Orange Hawkweed and other types of hawkweeds are highly invasive and no bueno!
