So I have realllly been wanting to find mullein to make the infamous ear oil for the hubby, as he gets ear aches often. Today we were foraging a new area and found verbascum nigrum, dark mullein. According to a Swedish site, as well as Henriette's, the two are interchangeable.
Has anyone had experience with verbascum nigrum?

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.

No first hand experience (earache free family), but yes, I think the two are interchangeable. I was always taught they were, at least.
Such a beauty!

Isn't it, though?
I didn't really notice the violet hairy stamens until I got it home and took some pictures. Love this plant! You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you.
