Is this a basil plant?

I mixed a whole bunch of seeds together by accident and I forgot what is what! I went to lowes to try and figure out what it is and well it sorta looks like a basil plant. well sorta, the leaves dont really look like basil leaves since this has darker leaves and is more pointed and flat. Though the flower on top looked like the same flower as the basil plant at Lowes but the leaves.. completely different. Do I got some weird kinda basil or is this even basil!??! the leaves are a lot thicker than the basil I seen at Lowes or at the store. Does anyone know? thanks!!! Also, first post! hehe

Yes, I have some growing and it looks just like them. I'm not sure which kind of basil though.

You have basil. Smells like basil, doesn't it? ;)

It's already starting to flower, better get picking some.

The wife just brought some that looks just like this from the farmers market. Ours was lemon basil. Pick a leaf and see if it smells citrusy

thanks all for your help!

It does smell like basil but "4s3v3n4" was right. It sorta does smell citrusy as well. Sorta lemony mixed with a basil smell. Thanks! just wanted to be sure!
