Chelone lyonii
A pink-flowered, Southeastern cousin of our native white turtlehead, pink turtlehead is similar in its colonizing habit, season of bloom, and of course the shape of its flowers, which resemble a turtle's gaping mug. Indeed, Chelone derives from the scientific name of the sea turtle family, Cheloniidae. Hummingbirds and bumblebees don't seem to be bothered by the resemblance, however, as they're enthusiastic pollinators.
Part to full sun; moist soil; 3'x3'; mid to late summer; Zone 4
