Wildflowers of KY: Uncommon Common Mullein at Pellyton, KY



2017-07-02 - Barnetts Creek Road, Pellyton, District 1, Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c).
This towering Common Mullein plant stood out amid the boundless beauty of Barnett's Creek Road Road on Saturday, July 1, 2017. It's a native plant, and gets mixed reviews as to its value except for its beauty. So far, we haven't found any connection to tobacco, though its relative appearance makes its appearance far more tobacco-like than rabbit tobacco. Paired photo See also: Wikipedia Verbascum thapsus where one can learn that the plant is known for its hairiness and that it has a long list of names, including, "Poor man's blanket" and out west, "Cowboy's toilet paper." - EW
