My friend Marilee got these seeds from Chantal but has forgotten what they are. Now in flower. Chantal? Anyone?

I think it's Celsia arcturus (syn. Verbascum arcturus), a Crete endemic.

Verbascum arcturus seeds were given to us by John at the Hania AGM. My plants are still in bud, but I'll post a photo as soon as one flowers.
