Oh my goodness. Just when you’re about to clip your basil because it’s flowering, harvest the stalks instead for a bouquet. The smell is divine. Once the basil aroma starts to fade after a day, simply brush your hand over a couple of basil flowers and POW! there’s that undeniable basil smell all over again. It lasts the entire day.
P.S. Hubby came in a few minutes ago and said, “What’s that smell? Basil?” Like I said, undeniably.
That is one gorgeous bouquet!
