Basil

A Google suggests it means that it's flowering because it's nearing the end of it's time.

If you let it fully bloom you can collect the seeds and grow more, but that plant will be gone as it'll stop growing.

Supposedly you can just lop off the flowers and it'll be fine.
 
Basil grows to between 30–130 cm tall, with opposite, light green, silky leaves 3–11 cm long and 1–6 cm broad. The flowers are quite big, white in color and arranged in a terminal spike. Unusual among Lamiaceae, the four stamens and the pistil are not pushed under the upper lip of the corolla, but lay over the inferior. After entomophilous pollination, the corolla falls off and four round achenes develop inside the bilabiate calyx.

My basil plants probably would be too... if someone didnt CHUCK THEM OUT. Sorry, I'm really bitter about it.
 
Just bin it and buy another one! Or plant it in the garden and let nature take its course, the buy another one. They're only a couple of quid! I buy a new one every month or so, but then I use a lot of basil :p
 
I can't be the only one thinking that it was a thread about this...
