Earth laughs in flowers.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Earth laughs long and lustily through these colorful snapdragons, with their cheeky round little heads just begging you to "snap" them! There isn't a flower that brings more smiles to young and old alike. My friend Kathleen discovered this volunteer snapdragon in one of her patio pots and let it grow.

Snapdragons, originally grown in the Mediterranean, come in a wide variety of brilliant colors. [Just Google snapdragon images for a stunning array of cool snapdragon images.] And for some cool facts, check out the links below.
