Aren't mullein an interesting plant? I love the structure. I'm glad you left this one, even if it arrived uninvited.

Joyce, I actually have quite a few of them growing in my butterfly garden this year. This one is self sown from one that I left last year. There are several more that will probably not bloom until next year.

I love them too. The leaves are really gorgeous!

Thanks for visiting!

What an interesting approach to your stroll. I loved it. I'm quite fond of the obedient plant. Is it perennial or annual? If p. do you know the zone requirement? I'm fond of mullein, too.

All of your flowers are lovely. I need to look into mullein. I don't believe I have ever grown it.
