My, how you have grown!
Yes, I am the Mullein and you have seen me before when I fought the frost and the frost didn't win (Frosty the Mullein from April). So see me now, straight and tall, guarding the Queen Anne's Lace at my feet. I have a smaller cousin, who some may think is more refined, and I will introduce him to you some time later.
My photographer has found yet another botanical site for learning more about me: Botanical.com, a Modern Herbal by Mrs. M. Grieve. She calls me "Great" and tells that I was once used as lamp wick. More importantly, I think, I could drive away evil spirits.
