Antirrhinum Majus - Snapdragon "Madame Butterfly Ivory "

Antirrhinum majus “Madame Butterfly Ivory”.

This variant of the Snapdragon is known for its double flowers. In terms of vase life, it is slightly better than the "open" varieties because pollination is a bit more difficult.

Snapdragons are edible flowers, ideal as a garnish in salads. The taste is slightly bitter.
