cool giant jungle leaves.
Does it give off a strong smell?
The flowers have an amazing sweet aroma, they draw tons of hummingbirds and sphinx moths.
They really emit the scent strongly at sundown.
Some of the other large night moths feed on nectar from them as well, plus you can use them as garden trap plants for tomato hornworms.
The leaves can be laid down as mulch cover as well, or used to make nicotine pesticide.

Nicotine plants have more colorful flowers than tobbacco varieties, which tend to have enormous leaves instead of hundreds of blooms.
Fun plants, easy to grow.

Got my cups for the 16oz solo cups competition.. had to go dig them out of the boat where i keep the flower pots.. lol..
Im using one red and one orange cup..
Got afew more seeds started, mainly just to check out the germ rates but i may end up using afew for the comp..
I'm not growing anything in a Solo Cup LOL. I just got some seeds to take another run at tomatoes in my raised bed outdoors. We'll see. I'm going full on Mittleider Method with these. We'll see what they think of my paltry gardening attempts this year!
