Elephant's Head Lousewort

Elephant's Head Lousewort
The Elephant's Head Lousewort, Pedicularis groenlandica, is one of our more unusual wildflowers. This was photographed near Edmonton and if you look closely, you can see a white Crab Spider among the flowers waiting for prey. The reason for the common name is obvious and I've posted it not only to show it off, but to show that I do photograph flowers other than orchids.
