Looking at Greenthum pictures I found out the name of these flowers in English is "snapdragon"

Great snap! :-) Looks happy there. Is it a more winter flower? Seems to like the cool, mine were blooming still under the first snows, hard to removed, I was a little sad. I'll miss them

They will come back for the next spring right?

Not here, it is just too cold. But I'll be putting them in again. I've really taken to them. I'd guess they would survive a pretty cold winter thoguh, just not my deep freeze.

GT, will you sow the snapdragons next spring as our friend Lourenço?

I'll be getting them in sixpacks. I didn't collect any seed. I should sow them, I'd have many many more that way. :-)

Snapdragons are very easy to grow from seed. Mine self seed every year and I find them coming up everywhere in the spring. Yours are a lovely colour Aleyna.

Awww Gilli, i sincerilly would love to say those are mine... but i cant lie
those snapdragons are from a very nice place we have gone for lunch...
i have a humble balcony (looking like a jungle, nowadays :P)
any suggestions to grow snapdragons with another plant?
I have a few plants in pots which could share their place with snapdragons
