There's an empty building plot next to my house and it's gradually filling up with self-seeded escapies from my garden. This one however wasn't one of mine and I haven't seen it growing anywhere around here. Anyone know what it is and if I can save seed or propagate it? I had thought it was toadflax but it doesn't have the tapered point at the base of the flower.




If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Looks to me like an antirrhinum.  They come in most colours.  If you've got antirrhinums but not yellow ones, a bee probably fertilised yours with pollen from someone else's yellow ones.  You can save seed but it won't necessarily come true.

    Snapdragon? Certainly looks like it could be. I wonder where that has come from? I'll keep it watered and see what it does. The neighbours will think I'm odd watering the weeds though :#
