Default plant identification

Hello, The attached picture shows a plant that I have in my garden that I
always referred to as mullen. After trying to research mullen I am not

sure
that I have the name correct. I would appreciate if someone could help me
identify this flowering plant.


It is Lychnis coronaria sometimes called Rose Campion. It is not
bachelors buttons.




And it is sometimes called "mullein pink"
so there is your reason for calling it mullein.
However Lychnis and Mullein (Verbascum)
are in different families and not related.
