Can anyone help me identify these cluster flowers that started growing in my garden? My partner and I are not certain what they are or how they got here, but they’re quite pretty. We are in climate zone 10 according to the 2023 plant hardiness zone map.

    I just put that image through Google Lens and It came back with a possible hit on “Linaria maroccana” flower species. Maybe that’s It? Pictures on the web looked very similar

      Some further research suggests that you’re right. They’re not native to the area but I guess were introduced a long time ago. Thanks!
