Verbascum thapsus
Very soft leaves, autumn siting so no flowers.
Mountainside desert in mining ghost town of Silver City, UT.
Thank you! I've never heard of mullein; it was so soft, I just immediately thought Lamb's Ear and some pix seemed to support that.
Common Mullein has large, hairy leaves. Lamb's Ear leaves are smaller are more oval in shape. This is a first year plant. They bloom in their second year.
