It almost looks like it could be some sort of exotic basil-ish sort of thing, which would have square stems. But I can't convince myself one way or the other, based on the pictures. Juat noting that basil is easily tested for by squashing a leaf and smelling it. And I will try that. Thanks |

Juat noting that basil is easily tested for by squashing a leaf and smelling it. Hard to do that with a picture. 8^) And some of the more exotic Asian/Thai basils I've tried, while very aromatic, don't exactly look, taste, or smell like the more familiar Italian basils. -- Pat in Plymouth MI "So, it was all a dream."

Nothing aromatic about the plant at all. I crushed a couple of leaves yesterday just to assure myself. It doesn't look like any other basil I've grown or am growing, either. As I said, the puzzle may be from a seed envelope with no picture and only Asian lettering - or it may be some sort of amaranth. I'll let it grow and see if it sets spikes/flowers. Boron |
