Tuesday I was trying to find NE Park in Greensboro which is in a rural part of Guilford Co. Tobacco* at one time was a huge industry in North Carolina. This was before the effects of smoking tobacco caused significant lung disease and people were educated about the dangers to health and longevity. I saw these plants not quite ready for harvesting as the leaves had not gotten yellow shade to them.. I did not see any plants with blossoms in this field. It was a bright sunny day with fluffy clouds in the blue sky. Taken with Nikon P600 - downsized for the web, but no additional editing. You can see evidence of the red clay soil between the plants which is typical of this region of NC. The plant is part of the genus Nicotiana and of the Solanaceae (nightshade) family. While more than 70 species of tobacco are known, the chief commercial crop is *N. tabacum .
