Snapdragons

Snapdragons are so named because if you squeeze the sides of the flower they snap open, appearing to be a whimsical, roaring dragon! Gentle bumblebees enjoy them, and it isn't uncommon to see the hind end of one as it almost disappears inside the "dragon's jaws". Snapdragons bloom strongest in the cool weather of spring and fall and are so cold hardy they can be seen blooming after fall frosts.
