Also called 'Butter and Eggs'
and 'Wild Snapdragon'. This creeping rooted perennial grows to half a metre
tall. The stalkless leaves are narrow and pointed at both ends while the
bright yellow "snapdragon-like" flowers have an orange spot on the lower
lip.
Originally, this plant is native
to Asia but European gardeners brought the plant back to their homes for
garden cultivation. Those same Europeans brought the flower to North America
by design or accident where it quickly established itself in both gardens
and in the wild.
Toadflax is established in all
provinces and territories with the exception of Nunavut.
