Snapdragons show off in my balcony

Every year snapdragons bloom in my balcony. But this time they just took it over. And they brought stunning colors with them.

Snapdragons of various colors are now thriving in my balcony and dominating its sources of colors.

Most with some hue of pink, magenta, orange, or salmon:

And some with a deep yellow, or even white as you’ll see later on:

Some of the flowers show off very delicate patterns

In Argentina we call them “conejitos”, which literally means “bunnies”. Would you guess why?

And more conejitos are coming up:

This is all happening in the balcony of marvels

-with a pond, an orchard, snow, landscapes, painted sunsets, and always wildflowers in it
