Verbascum Pulverulentum it is!!! Also called Hoary Mullein!

This link     http://www.kuleuven-kortrijk.be/bioweb/?lang=en&detail=844       has other pics of it.

Thank you for identifying it. For those that don't like them, the standard systemic weedkiller (glycosophate) eradicated my neighbours!

just driven back from Surrey and saw plenty growing by the M25. It's actually a really nice plant. Personally I would enjoyit for the summer then cut it off before it seeds everywhere - and throw the seedheads in a ditch. Also saw lots of lavateras, mauves and teasels - and the roadside ... and the birds, would definitely be the poorer without them. But I wouldn't want one in the middle of the lawn! In Kaui a few years back we were admiring the amazing ginger flowers growing everywhere, but the locals just hated them! And at the Huntingdon Gardens near LA, they were trying really hard to grow dendelions... whilst in Tuscany they just hate their poppies.
