Is this a weed or a plant?  The tall one in the centre. It’s growing in very shallow, poor soil in a raised border.

    Linaria - toadflax
    Tall spires of purple (or possibly pink) flowers - I love it :)

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    It's not a weed as such, although it seeds readily. I've completely forgotten it's name though.  :|
    Someone else will remember though. 


    Purple toadflax - Linaria   :)
