Mulleins

This photograph captures the subtle beauty of Common Mullein leaves from Avon Gorge, revealed through close-up segments arranged against a muted olive backdrop. The soft, silvery-grey hues of the leaves exhibit their characteristic dense, woolly hairs, inviting contemplation of the plant's resilience in the nutrient-poor, rocky soils of this unique limestone gorge. The texture and form of each leaf piece highlight the gentle undulations and whisper-thin fuzz, evoking the plant’s historical use and natural endurance.
