refurbished lousewort 

A plant of the endangered species Pedicularis furbishiae which has been carefully dug up, potted and transported to the sunny shelter of a greenhouse to help it grow bigger and stronger, and then re-planted in its original spot back in the wild.

Now that so many refurbished lousewort plants have been re-introduced into the coastal woodlands of Maine and New Brunswick, there are more of the lovely yellow cat's-paw-like blossoms for folks to enjoy.
