Yeah, undoubtedly it will be one of my "50 more urban species" but I'll wait til the end of summer, when the huge central spike with the yellow flowers comes up.
Cool place. I thought you'd been there before though, in college. That must have been another Mission Hill spot I'm remembering you talk about?
Also, I just rediscovered mullein, too! There was a cute little one in the mini-garden spot I use in the front yard here, and I didn't know what it was, but let it grow because it was so interesting. I was fascinated by the fact that it stayed pretty much the same all winter long. It's got quite the fur coat! I didn't find out what it was until a month or so ago, and was glad I saved it. I've moved it out of the veggie garden, so that it doesn't take up the precious organic soil in the raised bed, and so it can keep growing in the flower garden. I might even eat/drink some of it next week, if it seems appropriate.
What a curious little bit of rocky land :-) Probably gets used for some nefarious things at night that the people in those houses aren't happy about ...
I'm sorry to see that bit of cornice/column thrown away :-(
