For the backyard GYO enthusiast:

Instead of cutting the flowers off to make the tobacco leaves grow bigger, the American Indians harvested the flowers. The most prized smoking tobacco was made from the flowers.

Buffalo Bird Woman tells you how the Indians did it, from planting the seed to final curing.

Bless those Indians for keeping up this tradition for thousands of years. Same goes to the folks who grew coffee.
