What is this plant?  My neighbor gave it to me last year, but I'm not 100% positive if it is the exact same plant or if it is another which grew from a seed from that one.  I think it's the same one though.   She doesn't know what it is called, but says she has a friend who claims it is a weed.  Still, neat plant, even if it is.



It has snapdragon type flowers and neat seed pods that spring open with a loud popping noise and flings the seeds pretty far.  My kids spent a lot of time poking the pods this summer so the ones that were ready would pop when touched.


Bees love it.  I see them on it more than any of the other plants.  They go right up inside the flowers and have to back out. 

weeds: invasives, zone: usda 3
