We used to call snapdragons "bunny mouths" because when you squeeze your finger and thumb between the top and bottom sets of petals, the flower looks like a bunny eating. :)

A lovely shot of these pretty flowers, Stanley.

So cool! Any genetic relation to Snapdragons? Or just evolution choosing similar solutions?
