Bob's Nicotania

The Jenny, Guest Blogger

The pride of Bob's Summer is his backyard Nicotania. He waters it faithfully and it gives me great hope that there is a gardener in him somewhere. The crop of Nicotania comes back stronger every year. It's one of the few volunteer plants we've allowed to remain in our revamped/replanted/non-lawn backyard. The resident carpenter bee loves this stuff. The color is so very intense! A glowing, electric magenta. The flowers are wide open in the morning, which is the best time for viewing. It's a lovely addition to our Summer landscape.
