Basil Blooms?


I've never pretended to be a green thumb. In gardening, I am very much a novice. So, it surprised me when, the other day, my nearly 1-year-old windowsill basil plant sprouted these little white blossoms. Is this a bad sign? Is it about to die? Who knows, but these mini flowers remind me of Spring, so they can stay!

FYI - When basil blooms it means it is going to seed. Thus, it will not produce more leaves if you do not prune it (yes, you should cut off those darling springtime blooms).
