This is my Tulsi plant. Everyday I do my best to water it.

Days ago I tried to multiply them by sowing, it didn't came up yet.
These are the "flowers" and when you open them, you will the seeds.

The brown "flowers" are good to sow because those brown flowers have seeds in them. The green ones are to young, not containing seeds that will grown if you are going to sow them

I made some Tulsi-tea. It had a deep mint flavor which I love.

The Tulsi is also worshipped by Hindus. There is a festival called Tulsi Vivah

This is a picture of the Tulsi while getting worshipped taken by my friend.
