Pedicularis bracteosa, also known as the Towering Lousewort, can grow up to four feet tall and produces these rather strange beaked flowers. It grows throughout the region and this example was photographed near Mount Rainer in the area of Greenwater on one of our hikes.

The Elephant's Head Lousewort, Pedicularis groenlandica, is one of our more unusual wildflowers, and the reason for its common name is immediately obvious. We found these in boggy areas along the road to Lake Elizabeth and in an area on the east side of the lake that is constantly wet with springs. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2010/08/lake-elizab...

This is Pedicularis ornithorhyncha, an uncommon wildflower of alpine meadows in the North Cascades and the Canadian Rockies. We found and photographed this example in the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness near Silver Lake and above the town of Monte Cristo. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/09/poodle-dog-...
