Skullcaps

What a delicate color these amazing marsh plants have - I love the speckles in the lower petals, and the fuzziness of the top half of the flower - this is the Hooded skullcap (Scutellaria galericulata). 


They occur commonly in wetlands in the north temperate regions. The wide, flattened lower petal is a perfect landing spot for insects.
