  • Question

    Roadside, Lincoln, Massachusetts. Growing in a clearing where a tree fell down about two years ago. It reminds me of mullein except the mullein on my lawn has a much longer cluster of flowers.

    Answer

    Dear jfc, the plant you have photographed does look like a species of Verbascum, but I can't see details well enough within the flower that I need to in order to provide a determination. Could you provide me with a closer image of the flower and a measurement of the width of the open flowers? Thank you.
