Help me identify this plant/flower please

[AylesBuck]

Hello,
I saw this plant this morning during commute and thought it was so beautiful. I’ve tried online plant identifiers but nothing…
Is anyone able to identify it?
Thank you!

could be an antirrhinum? Also known as snapdragon?

My guess would be antirrhinum family

That's a snapdragon.

Looks like astilbe (false goats beard!)

Looks like rosebay willowherb. Which frequently grows by railway lines and other wasteland type places.

Another vote for snapdragon

I doubt it will be astilbe as they like boggy/damp areas and the whole point of gravel/train tracks is to provide free drainage.

Assuming it's too early for Rosebay Willow to flower but who knows with this year.

My money is on snapdragon. The bumblebees adore them so if you can get some planted then I highly recommend them. Lots of beautiful colours too.

Thank you everyone. After googling your guesses, Alstibe looks likely with its fluffy flowers.
Snapdragon's flowers seem too plump.
Thanks again, I’ll now try to find some to plant.

There’s other flowers in the antirrhinum family that are less plump - they self seed freely and bees love them all.

I'd go with antirrhinum too, my astilbes are very different to your pic!

Definitely snapdragons. Astilbes like moist environment while snapdragons prefer it drier. Look closer at leaves and flowers- plant OP posted has completely different leaves to astilbe and flowers are more compact while astilbe is more spread.

Snapdragon.

Astilbe doesn't flower until late spring early summer. I think snap dragon aswell.

I thought foxglove when I looked at the picture.

Looks like lupine to me.
