Wildflower..... by cutekitty

Wildflower.....

.....funny how the 'wildflowers' grow big and strong without any human input......don't know what this one is but it is tall and just bursting out with little yellow flowers......and it has several 'friends' dotted around the garden too.....
Lovely! It looks like wooly mullein. Verbascum thapsus.

What a great looking plant, it seems to be in a great location too.

It’s looks like it is trying to make an escape.

@marlboromaam yes...you are right.....have just been told this by my local gardening club....it's a self-seeder and spreader !!!

@ludwigsdiana It certainly has tenacity.......I've since learned its name and that is is a spreader

@wakelys haha....probably looking for another area to spread itself !

It is definitely mullein! At one point one was growing in the raised bed in my back yard and I let it stay. My dad would have been spinning in his grave. In a pasture or field he would have gone after it with a hoe. When my brother saw it, he thought I was crazy.

Fascinating! I'd give it room in the garden. :-)

Tall & straight all by itself!

@mcsiegle haha.....my Grandad also.....his hoe was lethal......I think I will keep it for a while....if it starts taking over I shall have a judicious prune !!!

@jamibann It is bright and cheerful and very tall........I think it deserves its place.
