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.
thanks
Bill

Well, I was thrown out of Latin class, so this is strictly local, but
Mom called them "Bachelor Buttons", and she wouldn't kid me on such an
important matter.

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.
