A Pepper Tree Garden
Osmanthus blossoms give their respects to the celestial emperor’s children
Their flowering pauses as a gift for the prettiest of ladies.
Thick pepper sauce offers up a wonderful treat for party tables
Later expect that the immortals will come down from heaven.
Notes:
Osmanthus: Native evergreen tree-shrub, known for it’s aromas and flower tea.
