Description
From my last post "Strange Plant" , this is what the flower will look like when it has passed its maturity (one of many shapes and forms). In the background, you can see a flower in its youth standing tall. Aloha and thank you for viewing.
Thank you Leeco for naming this plant "Common Mullein" (Verbascum thapsus)

In my part of the world (North East Texas), we have a plant called the "common Mullein, a very old and usefull plant used (by Roman soldiers, American Indians and early colonists to name a few) for a wide variety of purposes". It puts out a flower stalk very similar to this. It dries nicely and lasts a long time. The leaves are large and very soft. I wonder if this plant is kin to it? Thanks for the different view of this odd plant.

Remarkable plants abounding with flowers all over! Incredible species you find there, Errol, I am afraid a visit to Hawaii would be overwhelming with all the endemics! Terrific capture, great to see it compared with the still blooming one! :)
