Snapdragon ( Antirrhinum majus )

A day round the house and garden with the kids.  My main activity was having a kickabout with Daniel at what seemed like regular intervals.At the top of the lawn is an area of slate chippings with various things growing in "pots".

I took the camera out with me every time we were out but Daniel kept me too busy.  As we finished one session I spotted a Snapdragon still with a few flowers.  I was getting desperate for a blip so I took a few shots.

Antirrhinum are native to a wide sweep of the globe.  Europe, North Africa and across the Atlantic in USA and Canada.  hile technically a perennial plant they are short lived.
