ID anyone? by pamknowler

ID anyone?

Back really bad today so I am staying close to the house. Luckily my nephew Colin is here and he took Finlay and his dog Ella for a very long walk!! The dogs are now collapsed in their beds!!

I took this shot yesterday as we were sitting outside in the garden in the lovely warm sunshine. I have never seen this tall plant before and just wonder if anyone knows what it is? Each day another yellow flower opens.

I am thinking that if I have another bad night I may drive home tomorrow instead of Friday. My own bed is calling me!!
Off the top of my head - Verbascum. Seed like mad! You're right in that the flowers open gradually up the stem.

@Cherrill I have googled Verbascum but I am not sure this is the same the flowers are only at the top. I have taken another photo of the whole plant - see my extras album. Thanks for your help!!

Is it a type of hollyhock? Looks a little like one which my mum used to have.

I'm sorry your back is playing up. I hope your own bed will help.
