        It is almost done blooming. The leaf is similar to plantain as far as size and has a bell shaped flower.

          Can you get a closer and more clear view of the actual flower?

          It is for sure NOT plantain.

            Looks a lot like hounds tongue but hard to tell from your picture. Compare your plant to these.

            Hounds Tongue is a cousin of comfrey. Has similar properties but is much less safe to use internally.

            Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

              Based on the pictures, it looks like Hounds Tounge. Thanks!
