Dark Mullein

Verbascum nigrum

Cooler today so I went out with the camera after having a lovely long coffee session with blipper RedFlash.  This, I'm fairly sure is a dark mullein.  It was growing alongside a lot of other wildflowers on the Barton Farm wildflower meadows, which are just round the corner from me - honestly I don't know why I don't go there more often!

Later still I went into town for the usual.  Quite amused by the number of Boom Town festival goers on the bus with their enormous amouts of gear.  I should think they're having a wonderful time with no mud at all this year.
