V Is for Verbascum
V is for Verbascum (mullein).
A year old plant winter sown last year with flowers just forming. These will be purple, others are pink or white.
This isn't the same mullein as above. This is moth mullein, considered a weed (some states list it as a noxious weed, in OR it shows up under wildflowers), but I love it. So do the bees. I did grow some from seed.
Yellow flowers, very pretty
ReplyDeleteThey are amazing flowers/weeds!
Deletewow...the flowers get better and better. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI first saw moth mullein at the park and thought it was the most beautiful flower I'd ever seen! I was able to find seeds for sale on eBay, from a local seller. I think some of mine volunteered too. https://lisasgardenadventureinoregon.blogspot.com/2023/08/friday-skywatch-august-4-2023.html
DeleteThere are similar looking ones sold as garden flowers. The one I winter sowed is much smaller.
I agree that they are pretty!
ReplyDeleteI hope the flowers bloom well.
