wild great mullein + beetle

It has large incredibly velvety, soft, thick leaves, and it will grow to a size of about 2 metres. It will have lots of yellow blossoms (in German it´s called: Königskerze - king´s candle) and I´m very much looking forward to it. It´s a very protected species in our garden;)

By the way, it´s raining here today as you can probably see.
