The red ones look like a type of Indian Paintbrush to me. One of my fave wildflowers when we lived in the San Jacinto mountains.

The red one is Ipomopsis aggregata. Common name is scarlet trumpet and in old books, fairy trumpet. And I think it’s also called scarlet gilia.

I have no idea what an of them are.

The last one is fireweed/great willowherb (Chamaenerion angustifolium), right? Here they tend to be more red in colour than the one in the photo, but most pictures of them seem to be on the bluer shade of purple/violet.

Yes, Ice Swimmer, that’s what it is!
I don’t know that yellow one… I remember those being under a made-up sort of joke classification as a “DYC” (I think that stood for Damned Yellow Composite), because they were difficult to tell apart.
