Snapdragon Flowers by fishers

Snapdragon Flowers

As well as attractive areas of woodland, there are lots of flowers to be seen in the grounds of and near Gisborough Priory, and these include a flower nursery to the west of the site.

These flowers are snapdragons, because of the flowers' fancied resemblance to the face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when laterally squeezed.

They make a lovely colourful display, but as I took shots of them, I was struck by how rare it seems that I see them now - or am I just not observant enough?

Such wonderfully vintage flowers - we rarely see them over here, which is a shame.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

I hadn't really though about it, but these really are a flower frem childhood - my grandma had some in her garden.

I'll catch up with commenting on your photos later this evening, since Louise and her children have just arrived. Our next post will be on Monday, so I hope you all have a great weekend!

They do bring back childhood memories don't they?
