A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 Is this the Crested Gentian?

It's the only thing I can think of - one of the few I did put in this particular block of the fence garden.

I have the tab but the flowers don't look the same.

Or, is it a snapdragon? I seem to remember transferring some seedlings into that square early in the summer - snapdragon was one of them - not much came through, except these.

To me, it looks like a Snapdragon...

I'd say Snapdragon, too.

Ahhhhhh! OK . . . we'll see what the gentian looks like when it comes.

Thanks.

Carly, I really can't tell from your picture (my eyes are shot!) but another possibility is the little, yellow Foxglove Lutea, a perennial Foxglove that will throw a few late season blooms. Mine just sent up a couple of stems of blooms the other day. Their heavy bloom period is in May.

Gentians' are usually BLUE flowers!!!

And they are beautiful..
and at least the variety I had,
the flowers' closed up when it rained.

I agree with weezie and everyone else who said snapdragon, I think they just might be that.
