This wildflower is native to western North America from California to Saskatchewan where it grows in seasonally wet areas from sagebrush steppe to high mountains. This is a thick-rooted perennial with narrow oval-shaped leaves around the base. It erects slim, tall stems which are dark in color and are topped with inflorescences of one to seven showy flowers. Each flower nods with its mouth pointed to the ground when new, and becomes more erect with age. It has five reflexed sepals in shades of magenta or white which lie back against the body of the flower. At the sepal bases is a ring of bright yellow. From the corolla mouth protrude large dark red or black anther |
