Basil, 29 September 2026

One photograph from the 2026 season.

A bushy stand of square, finely haired stems on 29 September, slender spikes stacked in whorls where only a few pale pink flowers open at once, the rest drying purple-brown toward seed. A tawny-thoraxed bumblebee grips one whorl under flat overcast light.
