June 29 - Capitate Lousewort


The capitate lousewort (Pedicularis capitata) was growing high in the alpine meadows.  This flower is only about 3 inches tall (8 cm).  It is a light yellow color with tinges of pink.  The tip of the hood is a brownish color.  Arctic ground squirrels like to eat this one.
