Plant name !!!!

If i describe a particular plant i wonder if someone could name it for me. Its leaves are giant and furry and the centre displays a tall yellow tower of flowers. They grow really tall about 3ft / 4ft and are are thrivers in droughts. Thank you by Cia

Plant identifying help

%easier It sounds like it might be a verbascum. It will probably send up a flower spike a metre or so from the middle of the rossette which will be yellow. You describe something which sounds very similar to something that is growing at my allotment by GlosGardener

IS THIS A WEED

Apparently there's a problem with attaching photos directly, but you can link to a photo on something like Photobucket, so can you have a go at doing that? Failing that, more details - size and shape of leaf, height, how the leaves grow on the stem, shape by GEORGE FRENCH

Is it a weed?

Hi all I found a tuber/root in my new garden, (only been here a couple of years), when digging the border and lifted it and potted it to see what would grow. Link to photo. I think it is nothing more than a weed, but I don't see any more growing by Disponded

much hapopened, except for the Verbascum chiaxii alba I ordered, most were not the alba variety but the yellow, which was not as required, but there was also some figwort seeds, that looked very similar to verbascum when I planted them out. I am still by Lavender Lady

Butterflies

I just scrape them off (time consuming but less yucky than squishing 'pillars) everything else tends to be left to its own devices I keep an eye out for caterpillars ofsawfly on solomon's seal, mullein moth on verbascums and of course cabbage by Kitty4
