Aromatic herbs around the world

Watching some pictures from a trip to India for the post Announcing It's a Vegan World - Indian I find a picture that I forgot to publish here.

Holy basilIt's the holy basil from Bikaner. It's easy to find holy basil in indian temples.

This year I grew a red leaves holy basil.


Holy basilA curiosity: as you can see from the detail, you can't touch or even smell the basil.

Ciao Carmela, come più volte specificato questo sito non si occupa di vendita di piante e semi. Non credo tu possa reperire piante di basilico sacro o tulsi a Gennaio visto che come le altre varietà di basilico si semina in primavera, i semi si trovano facilmente in vivai specializzati o in negozi online.
