  • Question

    Here is a closer view of my Verbascum. The single flower in closeup is about 15 mm wide. The leaf is about 100 mm long.

    Answer

    Dear jfc, good morning. Thank you for taking the time to acquire additional images. The stigma morphology (capitate), decurrent leaf bases on the stem, and relatively small corolla size all support this being a diminutive Verbascum thapsus (common mullein). Best wishes.
