Verbascum thapsus
Leaves are large, up to 15 inches long and 5 inches across, becoming progressively smaller as they ascend the main stem. They are thick and soft like felt or flannel, densely covered in short hairs. The shape is generally oval, with a pointed tip. The leaf base tapers to a “winged” leaf stem that extends down the main stem. The leaf edges may have small rounded teeth and may be a little wavy. Attachment is alternate.

I have found what I thought was mullein, but it looks so much softer/fuzzier than this. I'm beginning to doubt my "discovery"!
