    So I've had a random event and according to a mobile phone app it's tobacco

    The app attempts to identify plants via a picture with the magic of artificial intelligence

    It's estimated with 72% certainty that i have tobacco!

    My only guess as to how this happened would be the wild bird seed I use

    Can anyone help?

    By the way... the app also predicts 2% chance of deadly nightshade!

    I will attempt to upload a picture... please stand by

    It is a Nicotiana ( maybe sylevestris ) nothing to worry about , it may die off over the winter.

      You can buy a varied collection of tobacco seed, the real thing.
      Most seeds that you buy which are normally called Nicotiana in general seed catalogues are ornamental varieties that are flowering plants.
