Saw this today - growing in Warburg Nature Reserve in Oxfordshire by a pond...

Yellow and pink flowers.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Julian

Looks like a verbascum. I have the white version of that in the garden. Bees love them.

Yep it's Verbascum chaixii - the white one would be V. chaixii 'Album'
