This is quite pretty but I don't want it in my asparagus bed! Please could someone tell me what it is.

    Looks like Linaria vulgaris, Yellow toadflax aka Butter and Eggs. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Thanks @Dovefromabove. That looks exactly right!

    As you say, it's pretty, one of the plants that straddles the border between wildflower and weed!  If I found any in my garden, I'd transplant it into my rainbow border, as I do with its purple-flowered cousin.

    I have it in various other places where I quite like it but would prefer it not to compete with the asparagus. It seems difficult to eradicate by pulling though so I might just have to tolerate it.
