Wildflower - Butter and Eggs

Depending on weather conditions, some wildflowers are more abundant some years than other years. This summer we have an abundance of the wildflower Butter and Eggs (Linaria vulgaris). This wildflower goes by several names, such as Common Toadflax, Bread and Butter, Brideweed and Bridewort. The wildflower Butter and Eggs is native to most of Europe and northern Asia and is now common in North America.

The flowers are similar to those of the snapdragon, pale yellow except for the lower tip which is orange.
