A friend has just sent me this - she thinks it's self seeded. I have t got a clue.
Did a bit of googling - anyone know what it is?

I keep looking at this photo and I'm sure that I know it - but don't grow it.
What are the leaves like?

Maybe that's it Jimmy  - I will ask her to check! Or send another photo.
I was just sent that one photo VC! I felt sure I knew it as it looked familiar

Well Linaria was a good guess but it is
Francoa sonchifolia 'Pink Giant' - bridal wreath. A perennial. How it appeared in her garden she doesn't know. Hopefully will be able to get some seeds

That's it!! I grew it many years ago, probably from seed, and it would grow back each year and surprise me as I'd forgotten it was there!!
RHS say propagation by seed or division. https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/details%3Fplantid%3D806
