ukhostland Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 No, its not Nicotiana , its Mirabilis jalapa (Belle de Nuit for the French, Marvel of Peru to some), as someone has said. Its a scented, South American plant which can become a bit of a weed. Poisonous too, but pretty.Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
