Antirrhinum

‘Snapdragons’

These tall flowers add a splash of pink to the garden at this time of year. Antirrhinums come in a variety of colours and sizes, I have this vivid pink shade blessing my garden borders.

Antirrhinum is a genus of plants commonly known as dragon flowers or snapdragons because of the flowers' fancied resemblance to the face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when laterally squeezed. They are native to rocky areas of Europe, the United States, and North Africa

I made various studies of these beautiful flowers using pen and ink, and marker pen.

Pretty drawing flowers
I guess I was drawing before I married for 9 years. I painted 4 pages only :)
The drawing talent is beautiful although I did not hold the drawing pen for a long time

Go back to it... there is creativity in you waiting to be explored!

I agree with you
Many of our talents are really good, but it's good to control them

Love it :D

Lovely, I just don't see snapdragons here any more.

I planted these last summer, and they have shot up this year. I've just planted some yellow ones too, but they have a way to go still before I'll be seeing any flowers.

Hey @ramyar, thank you for the visit! Glad you liked my work!

Sorry it has been awhile, life has been a bit chaotic as of late. But I really should be coming to your page even more, always so lovely and peaceful :)

Hahaha, that's ok! Things are chaotic here too at the moment!

Admired of the flowers of her garden, a true source of inspiration, congratulations lady @opheliafu for this beautiful work, thank you very much for this beautiful gift

Nature is inspiring! Thank you @jlufer

They are very pretty flowers!

Thank you @cmgsteems, they are beautiful flowers in real life.

These! The most luscious pink. Beautiful as always.

The original plants are grown from ones that were in my Great Aunt's garden, so they hold a little extra sentiment for me.

A work of art will be so beautiful if we understand the meaning of art itself.

Wonderful @yhopanz1707!

This is what I call AMAZING WORK! Thanks for sharing, @opheliafu!
