Any ideas of this plant we came across on the Bank of the Braan, excuse the handsome fishing dude in the photo, he wouldn't get out of the way :D
Looks like a great mullein (Verbascum thapsus) dying off. They are monocarpic, or biennial like foxgloves.
Thanks guys, aye it had yellow flowers a few weeks back
It would sem to be an invasive alien in the USA :)

I also noticed a lot of Verbascum in New Zealand, especially around the area of the MacKenzie Basin along with other non natives like thistles. gorse, wild rose and massive brown trout. :D
