Did my Basil flower (bolt)? Is it too late to pinch it off is so?

Pinch it. Basil is fairly resilient to abuse.

I just did, thank you. Now to wait and see what happens from here.

The flavor may change, but it doesn't mean it will be bad!

Yes, it's about to flower. Pinch the head off and it'll keep growing.

@Dis32 You can always pinch it off. It will probably keep trying to flower for a while, but keep pinching them as they come.
