Saturday Flowers

I've always loved snapdragons. 

There's just something fun about a flower that acts like a puppet. 

When I was younger, my Mexican grandmother was always growing gorgeous flowers in the Arizona desert. She had snapdragons, among other things. And roses galore.

Last year, I planted snapdragon seeds in my front flower beds. Quite a few snapdragon seeds. And last year, I got snapdragon leaves. But, lo and behold, THIS spring, I've got snapdragon flowers showing up on their own, and I'm loving it! (Side note: Same thing happened with my Sweet William flowers ... pictured and  described in this post from last month.)

As for man,

his days are as grass:

as a flower of the field,

so he flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over it,

and it is gone;

and the place thereof

shall know it no more.

But the mercy of the LORD

is from everlasting to everlasting

upon them that fear him,

and his righteousness

unto children's children;

To such as

keep his covenant,

and to those

that remember

his commandments

to do them.

Psalm 103:15-18
