I was running through some folders to clear up some space when I saw this one! It was taken inside Gardens by the Bay and I did tried to catch some “artistic” angles … LOL, not sure it worked.
But anyway, I soon forgot about it, even though I did spent a little more effort on this one. I guess it’s why they say, when you can take photo easily and “unlimited-ly”, you tend to not treasure them as much.
In those days where films are expensive and limited, we tend to think before we snap, at least for me.

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.
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.
My first thought was gladiola too, but I am not very good with flowers. It’s beautiful regardless!
Thank you very much!
You people really knows about flowers!!
Wonderful flower, but I do not know how it’s called
Thank you, I think Carol just gave us the answer!
Beautiful sunshine flower, looks sort of like a gladiola perhaps.
I just googled “gladiola” and seen some photos,
Carol I think you maybe right!!!
