Snapdragons

From the want list:

Last night, I ordered some of my seeds. The petunias I wanted were in stock. I also got some snapdragon seeds. Snapdragons are fun flowers. I actually used to play with them when I was a child. Snap, snap, snap. The jaws are quite fun.

In addition to their amusement factor, snapdragons are one of the plants that the Common Buckeyes lay their eggs on. Now, I think I'm a bit too far north for Common Buckeyes. On the East Coast, they tend to only come as far north as North Carolina. But that won't keep me from planting snapdragons. I'll just have to keep an eye out for caterpillars when snapping the flowers.

Snap!
