Tulsi - The incomparable one


I took this picture in my garden almost  a year back, it's a flower of Tulsi plant(Sanskrit word which translates to 'the incomparable one'. I don't know if you know about it, but it's famous in India and i think South Asia in general for it's use in Ayurveda. A great remedy for cold, we also add a leaf or two with tea leaves, it has a lovely aroma and tastes so good! It is also a sacred plant in India and is worshiped by Hindus.
Sometimes when i stroll about in my garden i just pluck few leaves to chew on...and some rose petals, no wonder my Chinese zodiac is a goat.
