I've been told that Captain Watkins was an Air Force pilot, who was employed by a tobacco company after WWII.

Not quite correct Margaret. Captain Watkins died in 1942 when he was 20. It was the breeder who at one time worked for the tobacco company.
I have added a little about Captain Watkins to the main page. My interest was sparked by my new plant of ‘Captain Watkins’ showing colour.

Urban myth. I'm pleased to be corrected.
A rose is a poor second best compared to a VC.
