ID This Flower?

I was taking pictures at the local flower nursery, and took a picture of this flower. By the time i got home I couldnt remember the name!





If anyone knows, i would greatly appreciate it!


Thanks!

I grow Nemesia and they do look similar to snapdragons in flower form. But this one does look like Nemesia. :)
Reply:I can't be sure, but from the shape of the petals it appears to be a snapdragon (antirrhinum majus). It's an annual and as a child I liked to gently pinch the head of the flower and watch it open like a "dragon" mouth.

Reply:I thought snapdragon at first, too, but I think snaps have the two lower petals are cupped.





Not that I have a better answer.





Nice picture, though.
Reply:It could be a Verbascum ( Mullein ). They come in many colors.nanny
