Mask flower

From LoveToKnow Garden

Mask-flower (Alonsoa) - Mostly Peruvian annual plants, of the Snapdragon order. The best species are A. Warscewiczi, having small bright orange-red flowers; A. linifolia and A. acutifolia—a slender-growing herb; A. incisifolia, also a pretty kind; similar to this is A. myrtifolia, of vigorous habit, with flowers larger than any other kind, and of a more intense scarlet than those of A. linifolia; A. albiflora has pure white flowers, yellow in the centre, and A. linearis has light scarlet flowers. All are easily grown, both in pots and the open ground. Seed in spring; also by cuttings.
