Not Theresa, but I have grown both of these.  The Thai basil is culinary - 
very nice in stir fries, but I like the Italian kind better for pesto.  I 
really grow this one because I love the plant.  It makes an attractive, bushy 
plant with very pretty, but not showy, lavendar flowers.  Just a nice filler 
in a sunny bed or planter.  The Sacred Basil is a little odd - nice plant but 
doesn't smell appetizing to me.  I don't know it's origins or provenance, but 
I would guess it may be connected to one of the Eastern religions.  
I would be glad to learn about it.  Auralie
