It is really unique, isn't it? Actually the whole family is interesting. Here's another one they call the Yellow Rattle or Little Rattlebox and also one called Wood Betony:

Here's another Pedicularis, even rarer, the Bird's-beak Lousewort. I saw it for the first time this summer at Silver Lake in the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness.

Lovely, Ron, and your usual excellent photography! I like Pedicularis. We've seen several beautiful species while botanizing in Colorado, including P. groenlandica, but have never run across that one. We are Pedicularis challenged here with only the common lousewort, P. canadensis, here.

Thanks, Tindo, for commenting. Hope you find some great wildflowers and hope you can come out to Washington some time to see some of the wildflowers and birds here.
