Any keen gardeners that can identify this plant /flower?

I had this in my garden last year and would like to get some more, it literally flowered from late spring until december but I have no idea what it is called - I've tried googling but it doesn't seem to match anything that comes up!

It's an antirhinum - Snapdragons. A very nice one. Very easy to get.

Snapdragons? Try one of the plant finder apps to be certain.

Have you played with them yet and got them to 'snap'?

No - left them be and cut them back when the flowers were spent, they just kept coming back. Last year was the first time in my adult life (I'm 36!) that I'd had a garden worthy of planting things in so I am totally clueless when it comes to gardening, but looking forward to planting lots of random stuff this year including wildflowers

Yes, snapdragon. Lovely ones and if you leave them to develop seeds they "seed themselves" (pretty sure there is a proper wording for it) and come back next year.

If you put your fingers on either side of a flower and squeeze gently then release you can make the flower open and close like a dragon's mouth...hence the name.
