A long list of
alternative names
are listed for this plant.

Wild tobacco,
Great mullein,
Jupiter’s Staff
Are but a few

I prefer Jupiter’s Staff
It gives me
Gods, magic, and a
Hero’s journey
A life less organized
And boxed

Sciencey name:
Species
Verbascum thapsus
Family
Scrophulariaceae
Genus
Verbascum

Science has its place
Perhaps at the
Root of practical things
Although I find
My imagination
Needs more than
Latin.
