Snapdragons

 
Another one of my childhood favorite flowers, the Snapdragon!
 
 
This plant got the name Snapdragon, because when you squeeze it together properly, it actually looks like a dragon that is opening and closing its mouth.
 
 
 I have these growing in a flower pot on my front steps. They range in size from 4-8 inches. They get partial sun in the location I have them.

 
 Snapdragons are an annual here, but they are very easy to grow and bloom all summer in Minnesota.
 
 
I'm clipping the seed pods and saving them to use in a project that I'm thinking about doing for Christmas.
 
 
Have a Happy Gardening Day, Lisa
