Nicotiniana Sylvestrianis

I love this cool dude, but so do the slugs/snails. It always seems a minor miacle when these start to flower, having been decimated, despite my care. Years ago my pal Paddy gave me seed and I've sown some most years since. It's a bit of a plaver as so many germinate, but don't you just love the fire cracker effect and they smell great too.
The name seems to invite a song : try singing it!.

I read the very wonderful Arundhati Roy's ' The God of Small Thing's' round the Hebrides. Maybe she set me off------ playing with words eh!
