I never would have thought my small bundle of rosemary I planted about 7 years ago would turn into such a big, beautiful bush. Now growing in my backyard, the vibrant purple flowers of the blooming plant always grab my attention. Rosemary is a plant that originated in the Mediterranean region, and it is a part of the mint family. The small green leaves of rosemary can be used to add flavor to foods and scents to perfume. It can also have many health benefits too, as it is full of antioxidants and sources to boost your immune system. Rosemary is popularly known to boost alertness, intelligence, and focus.
