Snapdragons aka Bunny rabbits

Nice display of collors

My brothers & I always liked them when were kids growing up in London! They used to be more common than they are today & we used to play with them a lot - squeezing the back of the flower to make the "mouth" of the bunny rabbit or dragon open! ?

LOL, which child didn't

I showed my grandkids how to do it as well! ??

So pretty. Me. too. Snapdragons are definitely one of my ten favorites. It's funny that they only like one place in my garden. I also am very partial to the tall ones. The colors are beautiful.

All my plants this year came from self-sown seedlings! They flowered magnificently all summer! But they also got Antirrhinum rust! ?

I am beginning to think that is the way to go, sow and plant
your own. I have not had great luck lately with the little annuals they sell in the nursery. Too root bound! When did you start your snaps?
