help identify?

I dont know how many other people do this, but if I see a plant growing that I'm not sure what it is, I let it grow, and so heres one example. There's been a few around my house before, but this summer this is the only one. The flowers are open early in the morning, and its fuzzy like lambs ear.





Thanks for any input! :}

 

Mullein. Verbascum thapsus. It's a biennial. Last year there was probably only a crown of leaves there that never bothered anyone. And like everything from Texas, it sure is BIG! And if you want more, you'll get more unless you cut it down now and burn it!

 

yes there was just a fluffy crown there last year!
As for more, I actually do want more. It grows so well without any help that I was going to incorporate it into a bed of assorted naturally occuring and drought tollerant plants. I'm noting its probably akin to growing dandelions as far as usefulness. heh! But I'm going to collect some seeds anyway to see if I can work them into my plan.

Thanks for your help! :}

 

That is very cool 8) looking. If and when it blooms please take a pic of it. Oh and welcome !
