    "Verbascum thapsus is a noble plant for the back of the herbaceous border, isn't it? It comes in a rich yellow and a marvelous velvety cream, and they flower on and on right through the summer. Much daintier is the little mauve Verbascum wiedmanniana - it's the sweetest little spire;"

    "Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, February 1938.
