    I agree with comment above. It looks like Linaria. My mum has similar one in her garden. It looks really beautiful! I think that she didn't planted it, but it started to grow on its own.

    Thank you / I agree too w linaria

    I think this plant came in a nursery plant or some topsoil I ordered

    I happen to like this free seeding weed as do the bees and hummers - and it’s easy to weed out

    I say weed in quote marks / likes our climate and no bugs on it!
