hi, again, Debbie, do you have picture of leaves? by the flowers this doesn't look like Dark mullein, because Mullein has purple stamens, this plant looks like Agrimonia eupatoria, here is the link so you can compare: http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/pictures/showphoto.php/photo/81189/size/big/cat/
