Pedicularis caeruleoalbescens

Pedicularis caeruleoalbescens is a hemiparasitic perennial wildflower in the broomrape family, native to subalpine and subarctic areas of northern Pakistan. It draws some of its water and nutrients from neighboring plant roots, so it is best left to grow in its natural high-altitude setting rather than cultivated as a garden plant.
