Flowers were bluish -white last Bloom , That is an interesting article Thumbs up Hurray!

A camphor or a wild Indian , Stems look Anthocyan or African this time of year.
I had not thought about the taste being a camphor , that describes the taste , Blinking

My guess would be an African Camphor Basil , I learned something , as they aren't suppose be hardy beyond zone 10 according to info , This will be 6 year old plant the larger one in June 2016 ,
In the Butterfly garden if a plant is not chewed up I feel like a failure
