Green and yellow. About 275 pixels by 345 pixels.
Well, you haven't given a whole lot to go off of but I'll guess a first year common mullein.
does that mean that there's uncommon mullein's? (see how little I know about plants, always trying to learn though)

A type of primrose?
We need to see more of the leaves also.
I think more plant is needed. It almost looks like it could be a water plant. But it sure appears to be in the mullein family.
Here is the blossom in full bloom.

Smoke em if ya got em.
Well, I learned something today. I was standing in a field of tobacco last week-end and I never saw the hairy stems and leaves. I guess that only occurs on the young plant. And the flowers weren't in bloom either. Soooooo, you did good!
They start out furry and with green/yellow blossoms, turn to the honeysuckle looking one and then go to the last pic, broadleaf, that's when they get picked, hung & dried and then either shipped like that or twisted and shipped.

If we are gonna play this game I've got some plants from above tree line in the mountains...

Actually,not many farmers tie the tobacco in "hands" or "twist" it anymore,more often than not,it is pressed into bales to ship.
The leaves are about 18 inches right now...here in God's country, anyway. Big honkers. Looks like pretty kale. Did that sound too girly?

Wow! it is amazing how photos don't do something justice. From the pictures, I thought the plants were much smaller. I'm with Rick, the plants here are about 4 ft tall and leaves are 18" long. I have even worked in this stuff and didn't recognize it. It kinda makes you wonder about all those field guides you been reading with pictures of plants to identify them.
