As many of you know I have a fondness for the genus Nicotiana, the ornamental and smokable tobaccos. This year I ordered a few unusual ones from Chiltern Seeds in the UK. This one is a variegated version of commercial tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum) thought to be a hybrid of several species. I can’t wait for it to flower.

But I must say the foliage is divinely mottled.
