Summary

[edit]
Description

Common name: Dog flower, Snapdragon

Botanical name: Antirrhinum majus - [ (an-TEE-ry-num) snout-like; (MAY-jus) larger ] Family: Scrophulariaceae (scrophularia, or figwort family) - [ (skrof-yoo-larr-ee-AY-see-ay) the Scrophularia family (genus name comes from the idea that it cured Scrofula) ]

Origin: Mediterranean region of Iberian Peninsula

Antirrhinum majus, the Snapdragon, is an herbaceous perennial plant. Often planted in gardens for its curious blooms, they are often grown as cool-season annuals.

The common name derives from the flowers which, when squeezed, open their "mouths". The plants are pollinated by insects, and the flowers close over the insects when they enter and deposit pollen on their bodies.

Their colors can be lavender, orange, pink, yellow, or white.
