Need help finding out what kind of flower or plant this is.. Thank you 🌱

I wonder if it is a Nicotiana.

Hmm.. not likely.. I googled Nicotiana & it seems the leaves come to a point .. mine have more of a spatulate shape .. either way thanks for trying to help

Reminds me of Nicotiana too. Lots of varieties, none of mine come to a point.
Woodland Tobacco (Nicotiana sylvestris)

I hope not hehe the blooms are pretty but I also read they are poisonous .. is that true?

Do you mean for human consumption? I know that deer stay away from Nicotiana. The bees sure like the Nicotiana I had.

I meant is it safe to touch the leaves or flowers? That is very interesting! I wonder how the deer know to stay away

The smell of the plants seems to keep the deer away. I had a long planting along the property border and they stayed away from it. I handled my Nicotiana plants quite a bit and never had a problem.

Good to know I've been looking at the other varieties, more specifically the Saratoga Red & now I see the resemblance.. guess I'll have to wait & see

I've been growing it for years, both that super big one and the smaller varieties, love them.
Keep us posted as it grows and it may be something totally different.
