Pink Plantaginaceae flowers have two lips and pale yellow markings at their throats

Antirrhinum majus (Snapdragon)


Native to the Mediterranean region, this short-lived herbaceous perennial is often grown as an annual and reaches about 6 inches to 3 feet tall, depending on the cultivar. Upright spikes carry flowers in many colors. The two-lipped flowers resemble a dragon’s mouth and open when gently squeezed. Visiting bees push the lips apart to reach the nectar and carry pollen between flowers. It is grown for borders, containers and cut flowers. The flowers are edible but bitter, so are mainly used as garnishes. Rust is a common disease. Photographed in Bogotá, Colombia.
