I had one pop up on the edge the veggie garden at my folk's old farm. A few others on on a creek bank adjacent to the garden.

Diurnal (?) and biennial if I'm not mistaken? Love at first sight! I can appreciate a weed, er, "wildflower". I moved one to a sun/shade location it never reappeared in and gifted some smaller ones out and one old friend still has several. He does occasionally weed seedlings, anything unwanted and clearly enjoys it more than I did. "Common" is a common word and I don't notice Mullein very often. Odd as I'm always outdoors and rural. As a stand-alone specimen I think it's neat.

Had no idea it was a torch and toilet paper too!

When in need, good to know! Thumbs up
