I love snapdragons.  They are fun flowers.  When I was a little girl I would "pinch" the side of the blossom and make it "talk."  Back in Minnesota I had some planted on the south side of my house.  They defied sub-zero weather and piles of snow to reseed and come back each year.  After we moved to Arizona, I planted a few of them around our fish pond.  They drooped a bit in the heat but rallied and bloomed late into the fall.  After Robert died, I moved into a mobile home and    decided just to plant a few lantana as they wouldn't require any real work on my part.
 

     Last spring I noticed a bunch of new "weeds" growing up by my back door.  I thought the plant looked vaguely familiar so I let them grow to see what they'd turn into.  Much to my surprise they were giant snapdragons in several pretty  colors.  Even though I did nothing but water them when I remembered it, they kept growing all through the summer and even stayed green in the winter.
