S is for Snapdragon.
I love these old-fashioned flowers. Each winter, they are the second constant on my 'yes, please' list when Maria orders her seeds.
I love the tall clean shapes of the plants and the bright, yet somehow restrained, colors of the flowers.
Best of all, I love how the flowers 'snaps' open when you squeeze it. This game has been a joy since I was a little girl. I have enjoyed sharing it with many kids over the years.
They're lovely looking plants.I've never "snapped" one open, but it sure does sound like fun!
ReplyDeleteI used to love to snap the blossoms on hostas when I was little. Now I need to find some of these to snap.
