Differentiate actinomorphic and zygomorphic flowers?

Rather than actinomorphic (regular), a flower can be zygomorphic (irregular). When flowers are zygomorphic, they are only bilaterally symmetrical, meaning they are able to be bisected into two halves, forming mirror images. Snapdragon and Gladiolus flowers (Iridaceae) are zygomorphic, rather than actinomorphic.
