Snapdragons
Our third planting of snaps is in full bloom, we have fresh Chantilly snaps and regular/rocket snaps.
 |
| Chantilly Coral snap |
 |
| Chantilly Peach snap |
The coral and peach snaps are very similar, the peach is softer and more yellow at the base of the stalk. Very delicate. The coral snap is a deep saturated coral/orange that flows to a golden yellow orange at the base.
 |
| Chantilly Pink snap |
 |
| Raspberry snap |
 | |
| Chantilly white snap |
 |
| Orange rocket snap--these guys kill me! They are deep coral and orange, very rich. |
 |
| White rocket snap |
 |
| Sweet peas--pink, lavender and coral/vermillion. I am ga-ga for this coral beauty. |
