Snapdragon

The official name of this edible flower is Antirrhinum majus, commonly named Snapdragon. It has a very particular shape, and that is why it is called that way.

It has many colours, ranging from yellow to garnet. We can see this edible flower in several colors: pink, garnet or purple, white, yellow, orange or even bicoloured. Its form is curious as well as fun. If you look at it from the front it looks like a dragon, so we like to call it that way. In addition, another peculiarity of this edible flower is that it does not have the common form that flowers have. It is hollow, more oval and flared.
