I was wondering if there is a similar species of Lousewort in Alabama. I keep finding pictures of Lousewort and most are yellow, but walking a perennial stream in Fayette County, AL I came across Lousewort that have pink flowers. Is it a different specie or can they be a different color?
Wes – I would guess that it is the same species – take a look here – http://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/plant-of-the-week/pedicularis_canadensis.shtml
Lovely image Gerry!
