Wow..Scrophulariaceae family... Are these annual like seen in India.. around the moist season.. July to December..?
I agree with Amber...looks right, right habitat!
I think this is elephants head

It was a wild guess...I thought the spurs on the lip might suggest a wild lupine but I couldn't really see the leaves.
Might be lupine, but the leaves looked quite a bit different. More fern-like. Also, it grew in marshy soil, not well drained. Thanks for the suggestion!
Could it be a Lupine species?

The flowers remind me of an orchid, but I've never seen anything like this.
Impatiens...?
