Figwort family

Verbascum thapsus - Scrophularia nodosa

Mulleins are members of the figwort family.  This is Great or Common Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) found in the course of my walk.  Right now there's a lot of it  round here, so I'm pretty sure that's the right ID though its leaves don't look quite downy enough.  In Extras is Common Figwort (Scrophularia nodosa) found down by the canal.  Odd to think they share a family, they're not very alike.

Just a reminder, since midnight Saturday we're now onto #WildflowerWeek21_16 until the end of Saturday 17th.  Look forward to seeing your entries.  Meanwhile I will be posting results of _15 in my journal tomorrow.

Hope life's treating you kindly  xx
