NOTE: THIS IMAGE IS NOT TO BE POSTED OR USED ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE. My favorite bloom when I was a child. My Mother grew them all around the house and I was always fascinated with how I could make their "mouths" move like they were talking by pinching the back of the bloom. What? Yes, that was right after they let me out of the nut ward!

Wonderful flower, it's really like a mouth. When you press it, the mouth opens. Very funny. Lovely capture.

As long as you didn't talk back to the flower you were okay. Wonderful colours in this good foofy image.

Well I still do the same whenever I see them.
Perhaps I still belong in the same ward!

Lovely warm shot of this one Pat.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

I know some others who talked to Snap Dragons while they Puffed the Magic Dragon, Owd Momma. I like the whiskers on this old gal.
Great shot for these dreary days.

These are blooming now! Wow! I always thought they were more cool weather bloomers. I know what you mean about making them talk. Such a pretty colored one this is and a great closeup.
