In the first year the biennial Verbascum thapsus (great mullein, Aaron's rod, beggar's blanket, cow's lungwort, duffle, feltwort, flannel leaf, fluffweed, rag paper, torch lily, velvet dock) produces a rosette of large wooly grey-green leaves. In the second year a tall, upright, woolly stem is produced bearing yellow, saucer-shaped flowers popular with pollinators.

The world can't be all bad, as long as there are flowers in it.

Spotted a "Verbascum nevadense" on a hillside, showing off its soft, tomentose leaves. 🌿 A resilient perennial from the Figwort family (Scrophulariaceae), patiently waiting for its time to bloom. Nature's beauty, even before the flowers arrive.
