    Can you please identify this plant? Came up beneath a Japanese maple.

    Answer

    Dear Betsy, I don't know what part of the world this photograph was taken. Without that information, it is very difficult to narrow down the hundreds of thousands of choices we need to sort through. Also, a close-up of the flowers would be extremely helpful. It reminds me of a species of Pedicularis (lousewort), but I can't be sure with the limited information provided. Best wishes.
