Common Snapdragon

Common Snapdragon Antirrhinum majus gives its name to this family as it has a fairly typical flower, which is much like the flower of the Mint Family (Labiatae). However, plants in the Mint Family can be distinguished by their square stems. When a bee lands on the lower petals the flower opens like the mouth of a rabbit and the bee gets dusted with pollen from the stamens inside. It then carries this pollen to the next flower it visits.
