might be the yellow flowering Verbascum - does it have hairy leaves? 

Geraldine, I've just potted up the Courgettes - you sent me seeds probably a month ago.  They seem strong and healthy with good root system.  Awful weather here - raining raining all day and windy........

On first sight I would be thinking "Primula"  of some kind.

Looks like a verbascum alright.

Sally cann't remember planting Verbascum there but it does have slightly hairy leaves great that seeds are doing well.

Ivor not primula as far as I know so will have to keep on trying to discover what I planted.

Jacinta congrats on being featured as Gardener of the month only got my copy yesterday.

I had a yellow Verbascum come up out of the blue last summer - presumed a bird dropped the seed.  They grow to 5-6ft but are very sturdy.  Not exactly my cup of tea, but its appearance always remarked on in a garden!!!  No it's definitely not a primula - too vulgar!!!!

I've had the same as Sally. Verbascum pop up everywhere - a gardening gift! I don't recognise the leaves from any of the types of verbascum I grow though.

Thanks Geraldine.
