Looks like a Mullein - Verbascum. Difficult to say which one without an
open flower, preferably in close up, and a view of the leaves.. Possibly
Great Mullein, Verbascum thapsus.

This just popped up this year in my backyard this year. A neighbor said it
was milkweed, but it doesn't look like any of the pics I've seen. It is
over
6 ft tall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
