For the life of me I couldn't think of the name of the flower when I first saw the banner, even though I plant them every year, and refused to click on the the post until it came to me. I hate when something is just on the tip of my tongue but just can't say it! Beautiful banner!

Nicotina
Ornamental tobacco

Yes, I had figured it out before I clicked like I promised myself I wouldn't! I didn't want to spoil it for anyone else though. Just one of those times when you can't spit it out and it's soooo close that makes it even more maddening than just forgetting a name.

I have several colors I plant each year, including the Lime Green, but haven't had that color yet. I love how they look mixed in with perennials and don't require any care at all, but are so fragrant.

Edit: Some of my seeds I ordered came today and it seems I did order different colors to try this year... Tobacco 'Cranberry Isles' from SelectSeeds.com. Some of them don't have the nice fragrance that the Alata has though. The Lime Green does, although it's not as strong as Alata and takes about an hour longer for the fragrance to start at night. I love the fragrance so I tend to be picky about which ones I plant based on that.

Great banner sedumzz!
