I will upload two photos. Are these snapdragons? They showed up on their own in my garden. I suspect they are t snapdragons and may be a weed. Please advise. Thanks. The white flowers in one picture are from a different plant.

Hi Sidd, 
Thank you for using Ask Extension.

I'm not sure.  They could be snapdragons (Antirrhinum - Wikipedia ) but the leaf form looks more elongated than what I would expect of snapdragons.

The leaf reminds me of Douglas aster (Plant of the Week: Douglas Aster | Garden Ecology Lab (oregonstate.edu)).  It looks like your plant may bloom within the next couple of weeks (the warmer weather may accelerate the bloom.)

If you are willing to wait until they bloom that would help confirm the identification.

Regards and happy gardening! Replied June 04, 2024, 7:21 PM EDT
