Botany Photo of the Day will have brief written entries on weekends, holidays and my vacations from April through September. – Daniel
Thank you once again to shotaku@Flickr from Missouri, USA for contributing a photograph (original via BPotD Flickr Group Pool). We're grateful!
False dragonhead is also often called obedient plant. It received this latter moniker because of the property of the flowers to remain in place after being twisted or moved into new positions. The species is a native to much of eastern and central North America.
Missouriplants.com contains a number of additional photographs of the species and the Kemper Center for Home Gardening provides a gardening factsheet.

I don't want to be a pest, but I have posted several times that have not shown up. The question I asked was about your site, which I think is awesome.

I grow this plant in my garden and it is blooming now so I'm doubly appreciative of today's post. I love the white variety and think I should grow it too! I enjoy you blog, Daniel, and though I don't comment very often I still read it every day!
