False Dragonhead
Obedient Plant

Found these in the dry roadside field near Diane's Crossing . Pink, spotted-3-lipped flowers in 4 neat rows. Lanceolate leaves and opposite. Blooms at top of spire leaving neat chains of symetric seed pods left behind, looking like snapdragon pods. The "Obedeint Plant" name comes from the flowers that are jointed at the base - allowing them to be pushed around where they obediently stay.
