Snap Dragons

As a child I was always fascinated by the little blue flowers that grew on the church yard wall that I walked past everyday on my way to and from school. One of the big kids told me they were Snap Dragons if you take the flower and pinch the sides it opens and shuts like a jaw. I was amazed and spent even more time playing with them. You need very small fingers to make them open and close but the urge is still there after forty years plus.
I saw these today unseen and off the beaten track, just waiting for some child to find and love them.
