Basil plant and its Tiny white flowers
Hello Friends ,
This is my first Publication in GEMS community and i am sharing some photographs of Basil plant and its Beautiful Tiny white flowers
i am afifa Noor I love plants and flowers alot thats why i cultivate different type of plants in my garden which i will share in my upcoming posts ..
Basil plants grow fast and when white tiny flower appears it looks so beautiful .
And when its flowers turn in to brown it produces small black basil seeds ..
Basil leaves are glossy and oval-shaped, with smooth or slightly toothed edges that typically cup slightly; the leaves are arranged oppositely along the square stems. The small flowers are borne in terminal clusters and range in colour from white to magenta. The plant is extremely frost-sensitive and grows best in warm climates. Basil is susceptible to Fusarium wilt, blight, and downy mildew, especially when grown in humid conditions.
A number of varieties are used in commerce, including the small-leaf common basil, the larger leaf Italian basil, and the large lettuce-leaf basil. Thai basil (O. basilicum var. thyrsiflora) and the related holy basil (O. tenuiflorum) and lemon basil (O. ×citriodorum) are common in Asian cuisine. The dried large-leaf varieties have a fragrant aroma faintly reminiscent of anise and a warm, sweet, aromatic, mildly pungent flavour. The dried leaves of the common basil are less fragrant and more pungent in flavour.
