My lambs eat shoots up purple flower spikes. Looks different than that.
It sure looks like to me.
My lambs ear also shoots up the spikes and flowers, but the rest of plant on the ground remains looking the same. This may be a type of lambs ear, just not like any I've seen.
It is mullein
Mullein?
I think it's is Mullein too.
Donna,
My Lambs Ears also shoots up purplish pink flower spikes. I don't your leaves are fuzzy enough enough to be Lambs Ears.
After researching I think Liz is correct. Here's a pic - what do you think?
This is definitely the biennial
herb mullein.
I used Wikipedia.com, to look up Mullein. (A great source of information, very much like an encyclopedia.)
Verbascum ( /vɜːrˈbæskəm/[3]), common namemullein (sg. /ˈmʌlɪn/[4]) (also known as velvet plant), is a genus of about 250 species of flowering plants in the figwort family Scrophulariaceae. They are native to Europe and Asia, with the highest species diversity in the Mediterranean.
Mullein or "mullein leaf" often refers to the leaves of Verbascum thapsus, the great or common mullein, which is frequently used in herbal medicine.
Yes, it is mullein. I have some and the leaves and flowers can be used in tea for pain relief. Can be used in salve it is a valuable "weed".
It looks like a lamb's ear in my opinion as it looks soft and fuzzy in the picture.
