Do you like Osmanthus? Or do you know this kind of flowers?
It has some different types. But all smells great. I took this picture on this Saturday.
It falls on the ground when it get ripe enough. It smells like great wine, even get you drunk.
I love it.
And my friends and I once let the flowers fell down to a clear sheets. Then we wash the flowers, dry them, put them onto a clear bottle with white sugar. A layer of Osmanthus, then a layer of white sugar.
At last, we put the bottle on the refrigerator. A week later, the four fifths of the whole bottle has been empty.
We enjoy the one fifth to make fragrant tea.
Do you like flowers and did you do something from them?

I love flowers but your experiment is lovely. For winter the streets of Pakistan is decorated with fresh flowers in different shapes and colors, Today I was driving through the main city.I saw large vases with soil and the wholes vase is decorated with layers of flowers with different colors. What a beauty for flower lovers.No offence it is only about flowers and beauty.

Osmanthus originally wild lived on China and there are some also lives on India, Cambodia, Nepal etc.
And also it has been planted on UK and other European countries since 1771. Usually they are planted on the parks for studying and enjoying.

Nice flowers, we do not have that type of flower in my area, but I think most people like flowers.

Yes, I like flowers. I think all ladies love flowers. The daisies are my favorites. I love the combination of white and yellow. I don't know how to make a tea out of flowers.
