<<'m curious about Mullein.  I have something that someone gave me that she

called "Mallow", but said she didn't think that was the correct name.  It is

shaped like a Hollyhock with flowers that are pinkish/purple (a light,

pretty color).  The flowers are less tightly curled than a Hollyhock, more

flat with 3-4 pieces per bloom.  The blooms run up the side of the stalk

like a Hollyhock.  She said that it self-seeds like crazy, and she has them

all over her garden.  I like the plant, but still do not know what it is.

Could it be a Mullein???

Sure sounds live my Verbascum phonecium.....  pretty thing with a nice basal
rosette... has slightly crinkly leaves and those violet flowers. Perhaps you
could ID it with a garden book of pictures....
I used to live in Stockbridge, Lee and Pittsfield..... pretty area for
Gardening.... pussy willow grows like mad there.
