Fragrant olive (Osmanthus fragrans) might be my favourite shrub/small tree of all time. It's known for its intense, sweet fragrance, like ripe apricots. You can instantly tell when there's a fragrant olive in the neighborhood when they bloom, as it's heavenly to be greeted by their fragrance

#my nonsense #ella reads manga #yume no hashibashi #osmanthus fragrans #plants #botany #genuinely the best 'discovery' i made in japan #i started experiencing this lovely scent here and there and i had no idea where it came from #i asked locals and they couldn't answer me (what do uni guys know about flowers ig)#but eventually i tracked it down to these flowers #i pressed some and took them home with me #i ...don't know where i have them currently lol #i should look for them #botanist problems #anyway i love this plant so much and was overcome with joy when they brought it up in this manga #as if they needed to fish for my tears even more
