UNKNOWN FLOWER

I noticed while walking around my garden that wasn't planted this year, this flower just now blooming. Any ideas what it is?

I often get them popping up in odd places in the garden - maybe the birds do it, or maybe the wind - who knows. I just accept them with gratitude.

I shall indeed accept them with gratitude Spritzhenry.
Actually is it possible to dig it up and put it in a better spot?

Hmmm. I haven't tried. I don't think it would respond well, but you could always give it a go!

They do pop up all over my garden too. I have moved some before they have flowered, as they have a habit of popping up in my paths. I also leave the seed heads to mature in the hope of more. The only drawback is they are all the same colour, so this year I bought some seeds to expand the range of colours.

Looks like an antirrhinum (snapdragon or bunnies mouth). They seed themselves.
