Anyone recognise this? Is it a weed or a flower?

It is approx one foot high in the photo. We have another
one growing nearby that is approx 18 inches high.

Scrophularia (figwort). UK native, member of the same family as
foxglove. Not invasive, up to you as to whether you keep it. Flowers are
not showy, though quite interesting viewed up close.


Thanks for the replies - I didn't find them for a while -
for some reason my posting was added as a reply to someone
else's plant ID request thread in my newsreader. Strange.
