Verbascum

V planted some seeds for me this year, but we thought they would not flower until next year, but one has surprised us by putting up this lovely flower.
No 1 son over last night as he had an early start with an old school friend to run the Torbay 5 bays run, - 10km! He cycled back to his flat in Plymouth this afternoon, so only 12 miles on top of that. Normal exercise for him!!!!
