  Antirrhinum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antirrhinum is a genus of plants that used to be the family Scrophulariaceae, more commonly known as snapdragons from the flowers' fancied resemblance to the face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when properly squeezed (thus the 'snap').
Study of DNA sequences have led to the inclusion of Antirrhinum in a vastly enlarged family Plantaginaceae.
While Antirrhinum majus is the plant that is usually meant if the word "snapdragon" is used on its own, many other species in the genus, and in the family Scrophulariaceae more widely, have common names that include the word "snapdragon".

 antirrhinum, antirrhinums, growing antirrhinum plants
Antirrhinums are easy to grow in any well-drained, reasonably fertile, alkaline, garden soil, but prefer a light or medium loam.
Antirrhinums may be attacked by rust, fungal leaf spots, downy mildew, mold, wilt, root rots, aphids, and mites.  If rust disease is a problem it is best to choose a rust resistant variety to grow.
Anterinum is of course a misspelling of antirrhinum.

Antirrhinum flowers are composed of four types of organs, named sepals, petals, stamens and carpels.
B-function expression is shown in yellow, SUP (OCT in Antirrhinum) is shown at the boundary of the third whorl in grey and C-function expression (AG in Arabidopsis, PLE and FAR in Antirrhinum) is shown in light blue.
This is shown by an arrow leading from B to OCT in Antirrhinum and a dotted red line leading from B to SUP in Arabidopsis.

 Growing Antirrhinum
It is also time to calculate how many trays, inserts or pots you will need to sow the number of seeds you are going to sow.
Antirrhinum seeds are quite small and fine and to count out the number of seeds you want is not really practical.
The easiest way to sow antirrhinum seeds is to take a pinch between your thumb and forefinger and gently and lightly sprinkle the seeds over the surface of the compost.

 Annuals A-Z: Antirrhinum (Snapdragon) 'Purple and White Bells' by Graham Rice
The Bells Series of dwarf antirrhinums is one of the most prolific of all and with its open-throated flowers which are less suited to bees they always keeps flowering a little longer than traditional snapdragons.
This new release from the seven colour series has flared flowers which are purple with a pure white tube behind making it a dramatic dwarf antirrhinum and a cut above the usual snapdragon.
White-throated snapdragons were popular in Victorian times abut this modern version has more flower power, is neater and more suitable for containers than older and taller varieties of this type.

Single colours are hard to come by in tall antirrhinums but now we have this impressive azalea-flowered variety in a gorgeous rich apricot salmon joining the white, lemon and pink from the same stable.
Reaching 4ft/1.2m in height, the extra petals in the centre of the flowers not only give them more substance but because the bees cannot enter the flowers to pollinate them they last longer before going to seed.
