Thanks so much Penny,

You are always such a font of helpful information and useful links.  I 
appreciate your prompt answer.  I went right out and cut about 4 of the 
blossoms from the plant.  Each is about 2 inches long and has lots and lots 
of little, purple flowers.  They smell sweet with the smell of basil 
underneath.  Very pleasant.  I've heard you can cook with the flours too but 
since the babies seem to love them, as usual, I'll give them up to make them 
happy.  :)

I'm sorry you can't grow your own basil there.  It smells marvelous and 
really flourishes outside on my deck, which gets full sun and since we are 
in the South, even early fall months aren't too bad on it.  Maybe you could 
give the lemon balm a try.  I didn't know it, but apparently, it's an 
annual.  I let it die off and left it outside last year since I really 
didn't know what to do with it anyway, but this Spring, it grew back in the 
same pot this year, bushier and bigger than ever!

Thanks again for the helpful info.

Hugs & whisker kisses,
Lynn, Samantha & Tabitha
