In ours it's sage at the moment but it was the crab/eating apples a couple of weeks ago. Our neighbours have honeybees in their chimney that we expect to swarm soon: they did for last three years so we are always full of bees. We also get mason bees in the old mortar on the north side of the house and the big buzzy ones that tunnel: I always feel guilty when I wake them up when weeding.
@LeadFarmer The first one that I had bought was glorious last year, but being in the second year now, it’s indeed slow growing. I had collected seeds from that plant and sow 6 pots in Autumn. They all survived in the greenhouse. 2 of them are quite high and start flowering. The other 4 are coming too. They were smaller than the 2 taller one. Summary: It seems to be plant that needs to start from scratch every year. I will sow them again this year for next year. Thats why I bought this new one to have the seeds. If you want, I can send you seeds in Autumn from the new one. Just drop me your postal address as private note.

Thank you very much, sending you a private message
I've planted white and pink linaria over the past five years. They have self seeded and this year are coming up purple, which is a shame. The cultivars can revert.
Yes I've found this too, @Fire. I've bought white ones and two nice bicoloured ones but they've been short-lived and their seedlings are purple. Canon Went, the pink one, stays around and I do find pink seedlings from time to time. I'd love a good white one that seeds true.

bees go mad for it
