This is our "Mega-plant". It has grown from a little bunch of leaves that were only about 10 centimeters (5 inches) tall. Today, the plant is more than one meter tall. It has little yellow blossoms and huge, soft leaves. It "drinks" about 3 litres of water a day.

The plant is called mullein (Verbascum densiflorum). The Slovene name for it is velecvetni lučnik. The German name is Königskerze.
