Need an expert opinion! LOL

These flowers came up in the bed of the house we bought in Jan of this year. I ended up with about six different colors of the same flower. The blooms only have 2 petals, but they're curvy so it makes it look like there are more. Can anyone tell me what it is? I have more pics if that'll help. I just found this website this week and I LOVE IT! I've already told every gardener I know about it!

Snapdragons.

The two petals are actually 5 fused together, Denise. Google up Antirrhinum majus for more info. Pinch the flower each side and the 'mouth' will open. Hence the common name.

Oh yes Flora! Every child's delight! I have wonderful memories of playing with Snapdragons as a child.

Thank you so much Rhizo and Flora! I thought that's what they might be, but wasn't sure. I've never grown Snapdragons before, but they're right up there on my favorite's list now!
