Description

This plant is called Mullein but as kids, we called it Indian Toilet Paper. The story I was told was that the Native Americans told the settlers to use this as toilet paper. Too bad it caused a rash! I don't know if that is true or not, but it's a good example of childhood stories. ;-) I took this shot just after a rain and you can see the drops of water. Ordinarily, it would look much greener, but the rain stuck to the little hairs on the plant, covering it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! Thanks for viewing! I appreciate all comments!
