Sweet Osmanthus 丹桂盛開 芬芳四溢

Now sweet osmanthus is in full bloom. We can enjoy its fascinating fragrance under the blue sky and feel the autumn of 2009 has come.
秋天到了。天空藍得透明, 空氣又新鮮。現在桂花盛開。桂花有數種例如丹桂,金桂,銀花等等。我們在日本常見的是丹桂。城市,山野充滿著馥鬱的香氣。
陰曆八月十七日,蘇東坡在杭州誦了一首詩: 月缺霜濃細蕊乾 此花元屬桂堂仙人 云云

    桂花香气只有4、5天。鼻子再要等360天啊。

    If I could, I would suggest to your municipal office that your great Japanese garden should have this tree.

    哦 很可惜。我以為東京住宅區或公園一定有的。

  5. Very pretty tree, not one I know. I do like trees with fragrant blooms. Maybe if I sniff very hard I might get a whiff of the fragrance!
