Snapdragons ...
ANTIRRHINUM majus.  Scrophulariaceae. 
[PICTURE OF THE ORANGE SNAPDRAGONS GROWING 
IN MY GARDEN]

This perennial is a good choice for garden borders or for cut flowers.  Taller varieties provide vertical accents; dwarf varieties do well in rock gardens and containers.  Seeds sown in late summer will produce flowers during early spring. Others will bloom throughout summer and autumn.  I still pinch the sides of the flower to see the "dragon open its jaws," ... as I did years ago.  My grand-daughter helped me plant these dwarf snapdragons in a planter box ... which makes them special.
