What's this furry leaved plant, please?  I suspect mullein, but I'm not sure.  Also, the plant in the second pic looks similar but its leaves aren't furry.  There's several growing in a group - should I pull or leave? (They are large - at least 30cm side to side)

Many thanks in advance

    I'd say Foxgloves or Primulas depending on the scale  :)

    I'd say mullein for the first pic and foxglove for the second.

    I'd agree with you @Uff - the first one isn't the same as the 2nd, and that's the one I was trying to ID. Silly old fool that I am   ;)

    Thanks all :)  I don't mind foxgloves - would you suggest pulling or leaving the verbascum? @punkdoc @Uff @Fairygirl
