I think this is a yellow delphinium - am I right?

My Mum has sent some some fairly hazy photos of a mystery plant in her garden. It has furry, foxglove leaves. I think it is a yellow delphinium - am I right?

It is verbascum OP, I’m unaware of there being a yellow delphinium (if there’s one I want one too!)

I think it might be a verbascum

Verbascum

it is a verbascum (or mullein) - I think delphiniums are invariably more or less 'delphinium blue'.

Regardless of it being yellow rather than blue, the leaves are also completely wrong.,

I’d thought delphiniums always had to be blue but I know of some that are pink and found these yellow ones being sold:

Another verbascum confirmation from me.

Verbascum thapsus, to be specific.
