Antirrinum majus.
Antirrhinum majus, commonly known as Snapdragon, is a
genus of plants characterized by personate flowers with an inferior
gibbous corolla. They are popular garden plants known for their vibrant,
colorful flowers and distinctive 'snapping' blooms that resemble a
dragon's mouth. The name "Antirrhinum" comes from the Greek words 'anti'
(like) and 'rhin' (nose), referring to the nose-like shape of the
flower. They are widely used as ornamental plants in borders, as cut
flowers, and in hanging baskets. Snapdragons are perennials but are
generally grown as winter- and spring-flowering annuals. They are easy
to grow, preferring full sun and well-drained soil, and are attractive
to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The plant is native to the
Mediterranean region, Canada, and North Africa.Treat as annual, Height 35cm .
