Looks like an Antirrhinum - which I think have been moved out of Scrophulariaceae now

I think it's one of the annual Linaria's sold as 'Baby Snapdragon' in packets of seed. The most commonly used is Linaria maroccana (Moroccan Toadflax), which now comes in a multitude of shapes and colours. Occasionally seeds itself from discarded plants.
Definitely not a Fluellen.

I don't think the fruit is right for Linaria. I'm pretty sure it's as Johnny suggested early- Anthirrhinum majus in one of its varieties- flower + fruit look perfect for that. |

Definitely Antirrhinum - just like those in my pots. Linarias have a spur on the back of the flower, antirrhinums don't.

So Antirrhinum does look the most likely candidate.
