Identification please Hi all this sping my friend has these popping up in her boarders

They are purple toadflax. Linarea purpurea. A nice tall slender plant but they do take over. There is a pale pink form too.

The bees adore them in my garden, that's why I have them but yes, they do spread!

Thanks so much seaburngirl and cammomile, it looks like its personal preference as to wether its a weed, im always suspicious of things that just appear, will leave the final decision to my friend as to how we treat it,
Thanks again for the fantastic identification as always

why not leave just 1 or 2 plants and then dead head when they have finished flowering. As Cammomile said it is excellent for pollinators.

wish they would spread in my garden monkey, i love them.
