This flower spike would have been very tall if it had made itself known before the gales! What plant is it please?

Thanks.

It looks like a Verbascum to me.

Verbascum nigrum. A great plant that will self seed in the right place.

Ooooh....self seeding...you may have a nice crop of these next year :) Lucky you.

:) Excellent - they will be growing through the raspberries! I'll stake the flower spikes next time though.
