Holy Basil - the tiny flowers
Holy Basil - the plant. Leaves can be eaten raw
which is beneficial to health.
This is the Rue plant which is a herb or in cantonese "Chow Cho" - a very pungent and bitter herb. Its leaves can be boiled to make a drink which, is cooling and rid the body of toxins. Be careful as some people might have an allergic reaction and develope a rash or blisters after touching its leaves. I have problem growing this plant, it always dies after I cut the leaves.
