Elephant Head - Pedicularis groenlandica
These plants grow to over a foot tall in moist places such as streamsides and boggy meadows.
Each flower looks like a little elephant's head - complete with a trunk and two ears.
The genus name, Pediculux, is taken from the Latin name for lice. It was once believed that animals eating them would become infested with lice, thus the genus is also called Louseworts.
