Two Osmanthus Trees

Two Osmanthus trees can obviously be seen at the gate of Lan-Tian Academy. The staff there announces that these two cost NT$ 1,000,000.

Osmanthus blossoms in August of

lunar calendar, so August is also called “Osmanthus Month.” In Imperial times, Osmanthus is a symbol of an honor of being Chinese scholars.Osmanthus symbolizes “good luck”, and its Chinese cha racter “Qui” is pronounced the same as Qui from Fu-Qui, which means wealth. In some places, brideswear sweet-scented Osmanthus on the head as the custom for bringing them great wealth and many sons.
