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.

#2098 - Verbascum thapsus - Great Mullein
Another weed that I kept running into in New South Wales and in New Zealand - the last photo is from the southern end of a lake in the Southern Alps.
First scientifically described by Linnaeus in 1753, using the Latin word for the plant as the genus. Common names in English have included hig candlewick, Indian rag weed, bullicks lungwort, Adams-rod, spepherd's club, hare's-beard, poor man's blanket, feltwort, and flannel. Mullein itself derives from the French for soft.
Like the previous weeds, native to Europe, western Asia, and parts of northern Africa, but now invasive in most other parts of the world. Surprisingly, not a major weed in cropland - it doesn't tolerate shade from other plants, or tilling. Disturbed soil in sunny areas, on the other hand, is ideal.
These photos were from Tumbarumba in NSW, and Lake Pukaki in NZ.

That Fuzzy Face
This Verbascum is dreamy. I want to make its blooms into jewelry and wear them. It is not just the colors that get me, although I find the dusty plum and creamy peach delicious. Its the little, fuzzy faces that make me want to wear it. Like a delicate corsage close to my face or in my hair. When I spied this plant in a pot I grabbed it up and did not let go. Sometimes you just know! FLOW

Although the plants in these experiments appeared perfectly healthy, and although both the ovules and pollen of the same flower were perfectly good with respect to other species, yet as they were functionally imperfect in their mutual self-action, we must infer that the plants were in an unnatural state.
