I think these are the same ones I have and I just love them and hope they will return next year.

If it's linaria, it will be back. :o) I didn't collect any seed this year ... so I know they'll be back at my house - 10-fold!

I'll see if I still have some blooms left and will post a photo, I sure hope they are one in the same.

Lovely picture! I'm going to add this to my wish list for next year. Especially if windsurffer has the same plant and it returns next year! That will mean it's hardy to my zone too! Thanks for posting it.

I have these!! wasn't sure what they exactly were. The grandbaby always called them " baby snappies", they are a bigger bush though. I have had them for 3 years :))) and they are wonderful !!! They come back, the plant just gets bigger, very hardy. They are very happy in Puyallup Washington. The soil is very well drained and they don't seem to be very water demanding. Do they also come in pink ? I have a very similar bush that is pink. Happy planting !!

They come in all kinds of colors. I have a couple of different mixes. Baby Snapdragon is the most common of the common names I see them by. They actually have them in 6-packs at our local nurseries right now - very funny - 'cause they're easy to start from seed and reseed themselves easily.

I see lots of snapdragons,just regular, but not the baby ones very often around here. I am glad to know there are more colors. They are nice and very easy to grow.
