Verbascum thapsus
Very tall plant. Biennial, produces flowers in the second year of growth. Large, oval, hairy leaves. Thick, ridged stem. Flower spire produces small yellow, slightly crumpled looking blooms.
Roadside.
These plants were over 5 feet tall. Introduced. History of medicinal uses. Apparently a tea can be made from the dried leaves. Use with caution.
