    This pretty little thing was found growing in a large overgrown area of runaway weeds... mullein, borage, feverfew, bindweed, dock, thistles etc. I couldn't see any others but this single plant, hiding amongst the taller weeds, and I've never seen it before. I dug it up and put it in a pot, and would like to find out what it is.... it's about 10-12 inches tall, altho it looks taller in the picture. thanks for any help!

    Looks like Moth Mullein, Verbascum blattaria : )

    Thank you, Weedbender! that's exactly what it is. I hadn't seen it before, and I quite like it.
