Nicotiana Sylvestris, I think.

Thanks.... :wave:  I googled the name and bang on....did a read up on it.   How it came to seed in our garden ???? but I aim to keep the seeds to grow more next year.

What a coincidence - this flower was planted in the park near my home last year and I wondered what it was! It's a member of the tobacco family I take it? It's lovely and the flowers last ages.

They do seem to selfseed quite readily. I had one growing down the side passageway to our house (next door neighbour grows them in front garden). The seed travelled a long way as it was towards the back of the house and it's not like I've swept that recently!
