my mystery plant!
« on: June 15, 2012, 18:24 »
Hi, I found this in one of my veggie beds last year & liked the flowers so dug it up & put it in a pot & its evergreen & re-flowered this year but I have no idea what it is.  For all I know I could be nurturing a very pretty weed :)  Could someone please help me out on this?  Many thanks  :D

Any chance you could do a closer pic of leaves and flower? It's a bit hard to tell from such a small pic.

Looks a bit like a red foxglove from over here...

The pics are on my phone so I have to email to my account & download on my laptop,  there's this option or one higher than the one allowed on here, if there's a way around it please let me know!

I am also aware my closer up doesn't look much closer but it does on my phone, honest!  :nowink:

It looks like a red antirrhinum (snapdragon) to me  ;)
