Lovely Pink Moth Mullein


2 more pictures above in notes!
I know this flower appears to be white, but it is actually a very light pink in color. I took this picture after this blossom has begun to fade and its color has become lighter than when it first opened up. I was delighted to find this flower, and in fact I saw two today! They are very rare on our property, as we mostly have the yellow variety. I especially love this color, and I'm so happy that this picture turned out well because I've only seen this flower once before today, and my pictures didn't turn out! (I added a bit of texture in the background)
From Wiki:
Moth mullein (Verbascum blattaria) is a species of flowering biennial weed belonging to the Scrophulariacea (Figwort) family. An invasive species native to Eurasia and North Africa, it has naturalized in the United States and most of Canada since its introduction. It has been declared a noxious weed by the state of Colorado. Verbascum blattaria is more commonly referred to as the “moth mullein”. It is so named because of the resemblance of its flowers' stamen to that of a moth’s antennae. This is not to be confused with the more popular and widely known “common mullein” (Verbascum thapsus), a close relative of V. blattari.
