Perique Tobacco
Nicotiana Tabacum
Re-seeding Annual
Attracks Hummingbirds and Moths
I purchased this plant in early May for a unique potted plant idea. It has grown into a magnificent flowering masterpiece; details printed on the tag are as follows…
Native to the Eastern US, tobacco became a worldwide export and important historic plant from the beginnings of the original colonies. This is a historic smoking variety grown by Native Americans of Louisiana. (Circa Plants)
I don’t plan on smoking it; but I do plan on enjoying it’s beauty…
Have a beautiful day!

With the nice weather finally arriving on a weekend; we were able to get the frame work completed for my new garden.
 |
We added two new beds for strawberries and rhubarb.
 |
This area will have a pathway through the arbor with Wisteria growing over it and through the center of the garden with mostly perennials along the paths and in the corners by the pickets.
The kiss of the sun for pardon, The song of the birds for mirth, One is nearer
God’s Heart in a garden.
Than anywhere else on earth.

I have four things to learn in life:
To think clearly without hurry or confusion;
To love everybody sincerely
To act in everything with the highest motives;
to trust in God unhesitatingly.
