Fun, weird, helpful, or little known fact
One of our loveliest flowers, uncommon except in high, wet places. Its swirling flowers, typical of the Pedicularis genus, are distinct for their bright magenta color. Don’t let its rather ugly name dissuade you—this is one wildflower you don’t want to miss!
