Description
Antirrhinum is a genus of plants commonly known as snapdragons from the flowers' fancied resemblance to the face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when laterally squeezed (thus the 'snap').

Thank you so much Randy for your kind comment and your wonderful puppet idea. Next time I have some snapdragons, I will try this. Thank you also for the feature in Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery. I'm glad this brought back some fond memories.

Snapdragons are one of my most favorite flowers, and you have done such a nice job on this glorious capture, Kaye! If you want to have some fun with people, especially young kids, take the floral off the stem, then place your forefinger on one side of the floral and your thumb on the other, and when you gently squeeze it together, it opens the "dragon's" mouth, then all you do is add words of your choosing, and you have a great "natural" puppet to amuse for hours. My grandma showed me this many years ago, and it is fun to do. Takes a little practice, and florals have to be in full bloom. Go from sides of floral, and have fun. Thanks for sharing this darling grouping with us. Brings back some fond memories!

This is a wonderful image Kaye, you should join the Botanical Art group and post it there.
