The plant family of this flower is Verbascum all from the figwort group of over 260 types. We have had 11 days in a row of grey, gloomy skies, fog and occasional snow showers and drizzle. In fact 23 days in January were totally overcast so I went looking for some sunshine in my old files. This is a recent cultivar developed in England. Other mullein grows wild by roadsides here and elsewhere in the world.
