I am a snapdragon, named 'Madam Butterfly' and not being a snob or such, I really think I am a cut above those other, ahem! non-double variety of snapdragons.
I will definitely be going to save seeds from this little beauty.
Lovely! I can never understand why people wouldn't love snapdragons. They come in such a rainbow of colours and as others observe, they self seed (especially if we don't weed them out...not that I've ever done that, of course.)
Hi Jennifer~~ If you wouldn't have told us it was a snapdragon [an elite one at that] I would have assumed it was a Gloxina. I'm wondering where you found this beauty.
Not to offer unsolicited advice here, but I'm offering unsolicited advice here...LOL: Snapdragon plants root fairly easily from non-blooming tip cuttings. I keep at the ready a six pack filled with moist potting soil for starting cuttings when I get the urge. And I'm sure you know this but the whole plant can be wintered indoors. I say all of this because your regal gem could be a hybrid, meaning it won't come true from seed. --Just a thought. [It's what I would do...and have done with great success.]

Oooh, she is a beauty queen! Snaps are such great annuals AND they reseed sometimes..what's not to love!
ReplyDeleteShe is gorgeous! Usually I see the red snapdragons at the big box stores and nothing this lovely. I'd save the seeds too! -Jackie

Grace, thanks for the hint on taking cutting. I will taking plenty.
ReplyDeleteThese snapdragons were in a six pack at our local garden center.
That is truly a beautiful snapdragon Kee Wee. I've never seen a double one before. I would save and/or sprinkle those seeds everywhere too!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beauty! I wonder if the plants from its seeds will be the same.
