We know that basil is a delightful little plant, but it has struggled with its significance over time. Its original meaning was “hatred,” but it later represented “love.” In the Victorian era, Sweet Basil sent the recipient “well wishes.” In Italy, a man was bound to marry a woman if he received basil from her.
Now enough of all the history, and I think you should stop here and check out these basil puns for you.
