Default Not a mystery plant anymore - Verbascum thapsus - Great Mullein

By popular demand! Here is a photo of my other mystery plant which Stewart
Robert Hinsley managed to identify yesterday from a brief description only.

The plant was growing in the veg plot last year as a small rosette of furry
silver leaves and looked quite cute, so I transplanted it to the orchard. A
year on it has become quite a monster. The once pretty looking leaves have
made a feast for lots of caterpillars so are now quite tatty.

I'll let it run to seed and scatter the seeds in our wild flower area.
