This is Elephant's-head Lousewort, photographed along Highway 82 in Independence Pass in Colorado. It also grows here in Washington.

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.

Pedicularis groenlandica is one of our most unusual wildflowers and the common name is certainly apt. This example was photographed in Yellowstone National park on a boggy bank where it was growing with the native orchid, Platanthera dilatata, the White Bog Orchid.
