Blue Toadflax (Linaria canadensis)

Another difficult flower to identify. But the weird inside-out flower shape, dented white center lobe, and curled-back pink upper lobes indicate Blue Toadflax (Linaria canadensis). This flower is also known as Annual Toadflax and Nuttallanthus canadensis. Mine Falls Park certainly wins my award for wild flower diversity!
