Blue Toadflax

Blue Toadflax, a photo by Teri DC on Flickr.

These 'Blue Toadflax' are blooming along the roadside so I borough one home to sketch. They are such a pretty delicate flower.
They are a light blue violet and belong to the snapdragon family.

They like open, dry and sandy soil so they are at home around here with our sandy soil. They will bloom April through September.
