the true queen of the night




a rare case where the romanian name is more beautiful, regina noptii, Queen of the Night (Nicotiana alata). I only love this old type, pure white, extremely fragrant, I have seen one can have many colourful cultivars these days, but they have no fragrance. and there is nothing like the combination of white and perfume in the garden at dusk...

  2. Not only that, you could, as a side hustle, produce your own smoking tobacco and sell it to the discriminating public.

    1. i hear tobacco can be used as an insecticide as well, if sprayed somehow on plants, but i don't think i can reduce these smoking queens to that :-)
