That is a cool plant! I want to draw it. :) Maybe one day if we ever make it up to your place in SC.
Cool
Wow, it is a beauty. I've never seen this kind of plant before. Your garden is becoming more interesting all the time.
What on earth is that?
According to Wikipedia:
The Mulleins (sg. pronounced /ˈmʌlɨn/;[1] genus Verbascum, /vɜrˈbæskəm/[2]) are a genus of about 250 species of flowering plants in the figwort family (Scrophulariaceae). They are native to Europe and Asia, with the highest species diversity in the Mediterranean region.
They are biennial or perennial plants, rarely annuals or subshrubs, growing to 0.5–3 m tall. The plants first form a dense rosette of leaves at ground level, subsequently sending up a tall flowering stem. Biennial plants will form the rosette the first year, and during the following season is when the stem emerges. The leaves are spirally arranged, often densely hairy, though glabrous (hairless) in some species. The flowers have five symmetrical petals; petal colours in different species include yellow (most common), orange, red-brown, purple, blue or white. The fruit is a capsule containing numerous minute seeds.
Wow, that is cool!
