Another "what is this plant"...

I've been pulling it out for years, but missed this patch (whole area needs cutting back as it is going to be a patio) and it's flowering.
I've included the leaves (v fine) below it.
Google image search isn't helping me.

Its toadflax, Ive got loads of it in my garden in varying pink purple hues. Bees absolutely love it

Thanks Gatekeeper.
Googling that shows lots of yellows, which was what I thought it had come up as before.
I might move some of the pink ones into the garden.

Hi. I am not great with Plants either. I do know there are some app's nowadays that you can get and it identifies the plant.

That's a particularly pretty toadflax, the common wild ones are purple

It really is very pretty, and so delicate.

Linaria purpurea, purple toadflax. If you googled toadflax, you’d have got our wild Common toadflax, Linaria bulgaris, with slightly larger two-toned yellow flowers.
