Osmanthus fragrans has auspicious meanings because its name is associated with "gui" (gui) and "noble". It is often seen in potted plants in our daily lives, which makes me feel a low-key familiarity with it. The small white flowers exude a refreshing fragrance, and the dark green matte leaves and straight branches are faintly smelled even if I can't see them. Its subtle and non-noisy presence in the environment often makes me smile knowingly.

Osmanthus is a kind of hidden beauty in the environment, slowing down the chaotic and noisy fast life by feeling the tiny details in life.
