Hi
I have this plant growing outside of my lounge window and I haven't
got a
clue what it is. It started growing a fast rate in June and it
seemed to
grow at least 30cm per week. It has velvety leaves and a thick
single stem
It can be viewed at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/timcass/plant.htm.

Thanks in advance

It looks like one or another species of Verbascum.
