Solved Wild flower?

I as given some pots of plants recently and in amongst them were some of these.
The flower stalks are about 15 inches tall and I expect the leaves are this brownish colour due to being in a pot for a long long time. It’s quite pretty but no idea what it is altho sure I have seen it before somewhere. It does not grow wild in my garden.

 

Linaria purpurea.
Love this plant.

There is also a pink on..Linaria purpore canon went.
And a white.
Linaria purpurea Springfield White.

That was incredibly fast @Silver surfer , many thanks.I checked the useful link and can understand how it has survived in a very gritty growing medium in a pot. I suppose it would have zero chance of surviving in my not the driest Scottish garden? The description of the flowers looking like tiny Snapdragon blooms is very accurate. I already have to lift and store over winter the clumps of Verbena Bonariensis, do you think this would this work with the Linaria as if I can increase the amount ( can you increase it with cuttings or only seed?)I have it would make a pretty addition to my herbaceous borders.

 

Where in Scotland? Big place
It does very well here in Perthshire... in ordinary garden soil.
Seeds around and has survived the last few cold winters.
Never heard of it growing from cutting.
It seeds everywhere and just appears by magic.
Love it.

 

Yes you are right @Silver surfer we do live on a fair size of land mass. Scotland varies considerably depending on location as you will know.
I live on the east (drier)like yourself, side of Scotland not far from Edinburgh but at about 350 ft. I would say a similar climate to yourself so all bodes well. I will let the other stems flower and set seed then maybe scatter it in dry cracks on the paths. I have no objection to some plants self seeding into the paths, I actually quite like it. I have a fair amount of Valerian doing just that and I think they like dry so will try in that area. Thank you for you knowledge. Their flowers are almost orchid like. The pink is very pretty too.
