I have attached a photograph for identification and have tried searching the BHS site and the Botanical garden site without success.
I apologise for the quality of the phot, but hope somone can help us.
Thanks in advance

It's a mullein ( verbascum sp) a biennial which seeds freely, grows as a rosette of leaves for a while then shhots up to 6ft to flower and die.
They are quite in keeping with a cottage garden and often pop up in places where we wouldn't plant them
