Moth Mullein: The 158th Flower of Spring & Summer!
I have trouble photographing flower stalks because in order to take a picture of the whole thing you will lose most of the detail that I love so much. Yet, if you take a picture of just one blossom, you aren't able to see how impressive the flowers are as they create a tower of beauty! This particular flower also has amazing pistils and stamens, so I have several views showing the beautiful details! I had a hard time deciding which should be the main image, but I love seeing the jewel-like, sticky resin droplets adorning the back of the blossoms, sepal and stem!
Part of Moth Mullen's latin name is "Verbascum" which appropriately means "beard", and though this flower is closed at night, thus not attracting moths, their stamens suggest the shape of a moth's antennae. These flowers are native to Eurasia and North Africa and considered an invasive weed in the United States and Canada.
