If you’ve ever planted Nicotania or even Petunias, you’ve planted tobacco.
We should try to get together and have an occasional, dedicated genealogy and regional history thread.
Maybe that’s something to plan for the New Year.
Sounds like a plan to me! The blooms on the tobacco were the same shade of green that I’ve seen on some Nicotiana. We were really curious as to what color it would be. All the tobacco I’ve ever seen growing has white or pink blooms.
Might even find some long lost cousins—not that I don’t have enough! :) All I know about my Cherokee g-gma is her name—Belle Star. And that I look just like her, only with whiter skin and light brown hair. The one pic I’ve ever seen of her was like looking in a mirror. Same moon face, same eye and mouth shape.
The two gentlemen who got me to grow the tobacco seed are both very much into genealogy and can quote you clans and chiefs ad infinitum. :)
