Can anyone identify this plant please?

I got some packets of free seeds in a gardening magazine last year. I discarded the packet after they'd flowered. They have self seeded and now I've forgotten what they are. I'd love to get some more. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I've included my hand in the photograph so you can see how tiny they are. They are like very small "snapdragons"

Could it be a nemesia? Not something I ever grow, but it looks similar

Thank you fairygirl!  I have just checked an online seed catalogue and it's nemesia 7th heaven!! Without your help I would never have found it ... bless you!

Glad to have been of service @marie.james1
Enjoy your freebie plants

I think the response is ‘and up yours too’. Or is that ‘May the Bird of Paradise fly up your Nose’

It looks more like some sort of toadflax tbh, linaria 'fairy bouquet' or something along those lines!?

Flowers look very large for Nemesia.

Cannot tell from pic.
Do they come in group of 4's on the stem?
I believe it is Linaria triornithophora

They don't have the "beard" of linaria. The toadflax has more on the stems (although pretty... I shall be buying some of both!). The photo does seem a bit misleading... they really are tiny tiny flowers. I agree they look big on the photo but I've no idea why. Thanks all. I've found some lovely new ones for next year with all your help . Best regards

Linaria...common name Toadflax..
They have the very typical spur that clearly shows on your pic.
Not sure where the beard is?
How tall are they?
What are the leaves like?
