Snapdragon carnival

Just a quick posting with some July photos…

We had so much snow cover here this past winter that the snapdragons not only survived but seeded everywhere. There are many interesting colors now but this grouping is by far my favorite. The pink ones were planted in this locatio last year , along with a stray yellow not too far away. Now parent plants and seddlings are all blooming together in a great carnival of colors that I could never have hoped to put together any other way. Amazing.
