That's a crazy amount of stems for a mullein. I found these ones the other day that were damn near 9' (2.7 m).

Fun fact. Before the 1970 there was almost no mulleins with multiple stems. But they are common now because of mutations from leaded gasoline.

That is a fun fact, thanks!

I love these weirdos 😍

I sometimes get them in my driveway. It's so fun how tall they get.
