    Looks like one to me, at least the leaves and buds do – the flower looks a little different, so maybe those horticultural matchmakers have been at work.

    Yes, it was the flowers that had the gardener who shared the image confused.

    Isn’t the the latin name for snapdragon? That would be a yes, then, a snap with a different bloom. It happens all
    the time!

    Yes Peggy, you are right Antirrhinum is the Latin genus name for snapdragon, but the gardener who took photo asks if this is really a snapdragon or was the plant mislabeled. If it is a snapdragon, he would love to know the species or variety.

    Snapdragons are Antirrhirnum scrophulariaceae and. this is antirrhinum nanum Genus\Family name) Got out of Thompson Morgan Catalog so maybe cheating.
