Ante/ Anti/ Auntie - Snapdragon

No time to get the seed packet to check spelling. Anyway, snapdragon was what I always called it as a child. I remember being fascinated by the way the 'mouth' of the flower could be opened. We grew lots from seed this year and ran out of space in the garden so a few went into pots by the back door. I love the colour of this one, it looks very velvety in reality.
I spent the morning in 'the shop' and immediately bought some long shorts which I kept on. I walked round all morning with the price tag still attached! It was beautifully warm and sunny earlier but rather cloudy this afternoon.

I am now about to change my e-mail address with Blip so if I disappear into a black hole don't be surprised. I'm sure I will eventually surface again. Thinking positively, there might not be a problem at all!
Off to the show again tonight. I'm not used to late nights and at the end of the week I will need a lie down in a darkened room for several days.
