The sky is becoming bluer and clearer. Osmanthus flowers are open now. This would be one of the biggest gifts by nature after we have managed to pass the too hot summer. Many schools and parks in my city have its trees. You can enjoy the fragrance easily and fully while walking on the street. You would see two kinds of Osmanthus.
This tree has cream-colored flowers, named Silver Osmanthus銀木犀. The leaves have small thorns.
Osmanthus is a subtropical plant. It's hard to see them in the northern areas in this country.
This orange Osmanthus is the other kind named Golden Osmanthus 金木犀, a variety of white one. The leaves have no thorns. Its fragrance is deeper than white. Chinese call this Red Osmanthus 丹桂. After returning home, I made coffee.
Nice looking flowers. I'm sure the fragrance is good. We finally had rain today. We've needed it for weeks. I need to drink a cup of hot tea soon. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteLooks a very nice tree and the flowers are small in clusters it seems. I'm sure you enjoyed your coffee.
ReplyDeleteI know that smell. It always means autumn.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog
ReplyDeleteHello rtc, Here a fragrant syrup is made from osmanthus, that is used in many foods. I have a friend for whom it is one of his secret ingredients when making the soup for tang-yuan.

p.s. The syrup would probably be interesting to try in coffee, too, if you like those flavored coffee-house drinks, although myself, I prefer black. --Jim

Take a walk to admire the flowers, and have a cup of coffee when you get home, which is the most leisurely way.
ReplyDeleteThe lovely sights and scents of autumn!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDearest RTC,
ReplyDeleteThe Osmanthus Fragrans is a very fragrant shrub or tree in many varieties.
Sadly we don't have one... Enjoy the ones near you!
Hugs,

All the best Jan
I don't know what these beautiful plants are but they sound just wonderful. I can only imagine the fragrance!
ReplyDeleteI think the syrup would be good in coffee and milk.
