1. From Wikipedia:
   “Antirrhinum
   Antirrhinum is a genus of plants commonly known as dragon flowers or snapdragons because of the flowers’ fancied resemblance to the face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when laterally squeezed.”
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antirrhinum

   In Russia we associate it with lion’s face, but everything else is the same)))

   • Hmm… this looks like it too… haiz … I should have taken more photos so that we could better identify…

     • I saw a lot of flowers like this in my childhood – they grew in a wild and were even the same color as the one on your photo. They are much smaller then gladiola. When you slightly squeeze this flower from the sides – It really looks like some animal opens it’s mouth 🙂 That’s why it was one of my favorite flower in childhood 😀 and I’m pretty sure, that it is on your photo…

     • Our wild flowers are like these:

       And these look similar to yours:

       On your photo, I think, it’s a garden Antirrhinum, not wild.

2. I had tried asking the flower what its name was, but it was not willing to answer. So, sorry, I can’t help you.

   Of course I have used film cameras, unfortunately, I have lost two cameras too.

   • Oh, yeah I’ve deleted the flower from my contacts for not willing to communicate!! :p

     You’ve lost 2 cameras? Do they by any chance and some miracle arrived in a neighbouring country and let a pink piglet pick it up?

     • Actually, you don’t need to delete contact with flowers at all because they’re kind even though they don’t want to talk to you.

       I always carry a camera since high school and college, but often carelessly leave the camera to play basketball or other activities. If your pink piglet was already born at that time, I would have suspected it.

       • Hmm… knowing they’re kind enough is enough. That space could be better use for people who want to make that connection with me 🙂

         The pig appears to be way older than all of us here! So maybe … who knows …

         • Don’t you worry if your attitude triggers war?

           If the pig older than us, it could be suspected indeed. I am now reminded of my lost car, shoes, watch, wallet… Ahhh… you have to be careful about putting things at home, my friend.

3. My first thought was gladiola too, but I am not very good with flowers. It’s beautiful regardless!
