EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Woodland tobacco flowers (Nicotiana sylvestris), a member of the nightshades family. With its vibrant petals and intricate details, this plant is a true marvel of nature. However, it's important to note that despite its allure, every part of this plant is poisonous if ingested. Woodland tobacco belongs to the Solanaceae family and contains nicotine, an alkaloid found in various nightshade plants. This compound gives it its toxic properties. As such, caution must be exercised when handling or growing this species. In terms of horticulture, Woodland tobacco can be grown as either a perennial or an annual plant depending on the climate. It thrives best in tender garden environments during the summer season. Originating from South America, these flowers have made their way into gardens worldwide due to their biological appeal. While admiring this stunning botanical specimen through this print by Science Photo Library, one cannot help but appreciate both its visual allure and intriguing biology. The contrasting elements of danger and beauty make for a thought-provoking image that reminds us of nature's complexity and diversity.
