snapdragon
Flower with jaw-like petals
Snapdragon is a garden flower with tubular blooms that open and close like a mouth when squeezed—children pinch them to make the "dragon" snap.
The plant grows in spikes of colorful flowers, popular in borders and cutting gardens.
Snapdragon is also a parlor game in which raisins are snatched from burning brandy, traditionally played at Christmas.
