Rosemary plant: How to spot the real one from look-alikes
If you've ever been at a farmers' market, garden centre, or even your aunt's backyard, you've probably seen what looks like rosemary. But here's the thing, Mother Nature likes to play tricks. Several plants look suspiciously like rosemary, and unless you know what you're looking for, you could end up sniffing (or cooking with) the wrong herb. Step one: Get to know the shape and size Real rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a woody perennial herb that looks like a tiny pine tree got a haircut. Its leaves are needle-like but not sharp, and they grow in dense clusters along upright, woody stems. Height: Usually 1–3 feet when grown in pots, but in the ground it can get up to 4–5 feet tall. Stems: Woody at the base, greener near the tips. Leaves: Narrow, about an inch long, dark green on top, with a silvery-white underside. If the plant in question has floppy stems, rounded leaves, or bright green all the way through, it's probably not rosemary. Step two: Trust your nose This is the giveaway. Rosemary smells… well, like rosemary: strong, fresh, piney, with a hint of lemon and camphor. It's unmistakable once you've sniffed the real thing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo A quick tip: rub the leaves gently between your fingers. If the scent doesn't explode into that classic rosemary aroma, you're holding an imposter. Plants that often get mistaken for rosemary—like Russian sage or lavender—smell different. Russian sage has a softer, more sage-like aroma. Lavender, of course, smells floral, not savory. Step three: Check the color contrast One of rosemary's unique features is that two-tone leaf. The top side is dark, almost forest green, while the underside is pale and silvery, thanks to tiny hairs. This contrast is much more pronounced in rosemary than in most look-alike plants. If your 'rosemary' has leaves that are the exact same shade on both sides—proceed with suspicion. Step four: Notice the flowers (if it's blooming) Rosemary flowers are small, delicate, and usually pale blue to purple. They pop up in late winter or spring (though some varieties flower more than once a year). Impostors like lavender have much bigger, more fragrant blooms, while Russian sage has taller, airy flower spikes. Common Rosemary impostors and how to bust them Let's play plant detective and meet rosemary's top look-alikes. Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia) Taller, with softer, more feathery leaves. Light purple flowers in tall spikes. Smells herby but not piney. Lavender (Lavandula spp.) Leaves are often more grey-green and softer. Strong floral aroma (amazing, but definitely not rosemary). Taller flower stalks. Bog Sage (Salvia uliginosa) Bright blue flowers. More upright and less woody. Mild scent. Bonus tips for buying the right rosemary If you're buying fresh rosemary sprigs in the supermarket or farmers' market in the US look for: Firm, upright stems (not floppy). Strong fragrance. No yellowing or dried-out tips. If you're buying a potted rosemary plant for your garden or windowsill: Check the label for Rosmarinus officinalis. Avoid plants that look leggy or sparse, they might be stressed or mislabeled. Give the leaves a sniff before you hand over your cash. Why you really want the real thing Besides the fact that fake rosemary just won't taste right, rosemary has unique oils, like cineole and camphor, that give it its distinctive flavor and potential health benefits. It's brilliant for seasoning roasted potatoes, chicken, lamb, bread, and even cocktails. If you mistakenly grab Russian sage, your potatoes will taste… well, earthy and weird. And lavender? Let's just say your lamb chops will taste like soap. Spotting the right rosemary isn't rocket science, it's all about looking closely, smelling deeply, and trusting your senses. Once you've locked in that scent and leaf pattern, you'll never be fooled again. So next time you're at the garden center, channel your inner herb detective.

Russian Girl Sings Kannada Poem With Indian Friend In Viral Bengaluru Video
A heartwarming video of a young Russian girl and her Indian friend singing a popular Kannada children's poem while cycling through a Bengaluru neighbourhood has gone viral on social media, winning hearts across the internet. Originally posted on Instagram by the Russian girl's mother, the video captures the duo-classmates and close friends for over three years-as they joyfully sing "Bannada Hakki" ("Colourful Bird"), a beloved Kannada poem. The girls, seen riding their bicycles and harmonizing in Kannada, represent a touching example of cross-cultural friendship and language learning.

The caption reads, "3 years in India. Girlfriends - classmates. 3 years of friendship." The video gained broader attention after being reshared on Reddit, where users praised the children's bond and discussed the deeper implications of language immersion. What's your excuse? by u/Shivaprasad_jb in Bengaluru One Redditor wrote, "A Russian kid singing a Kannada poem based out of Bengaluru with her local friend. How good it is to watch! Even foreigners learnt Kannada, what's your excuse in spreading more love and compassion towards our language?" "My uncle, who has been in Bangalore for 33 years. He can speak and read Kannada fluently. was told by a commercial auto driver to go learn Kannada. There was an argument between the driver and my uncle. Probably my uncle mispronounced one word, and the driver, who was losing the argument, brought the language card in between," wrote another user. "The government should make local language mandatory in schools so that 2nd-generation immigrants will learn the language at least," commented a third user. The viral moment sparked a lively conversation around the role of environment and education in language acquisition. While some users highlighted the ease with which children pick up new languages, others criticized schools and government policies for not doing enough to promote local languages like Kannada. Some shared personal struggles with learning the language due to lack of immersion or practice partners.
