This is a new kind of snapdragon called Acrobat. It was specifically developed for hanging baskets which is how I'm growing it on my terrace. Instead of the straight upright growth of standard snaps these grow out and down the side of the basket and than curl back up with a smaller snap flower at the tips. Right now I must have 40 or 50 blooms on the plant which is at its peak. They love cooler weather so they've had a happy spring as again today we're back in the 40's!

Interesting border, Kathy, nice vignetting, perfectly shot snapdragons. I used to love pinching these as a kid. Excellent colors and some interesting selective monotones. I took an allergy pill; so I apologize if this is a Boeing 747.

P.S. I like the play on words.

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
