By Jim | Published September 25, 2013

During my recent Minnesota trip, I found a new wildflower for me, the “Butter-and-Eggs” (Linaria vulgaris): This beauty is in the Figwort family, and also known as Toadflax. It grows 1-3 feet high and the flowers are 3/4″ to 1″ long, and gets it’s common name of Butter-and-Eggs from it’s uncanny resemblance to just that […]
