There needs to be something added, perhaps under the Cultivation heading, about how long the plant lives and what conditions it prefers. I wonder if there's not a plant biologist out there who is knowledgeable about this one. I will do it myself after a bit of rigorous research but it's not my expertise.

Incorrect photograph

The photograph on the right hand side should be changed. it doesn't show a typical Osmanthus fragrans, but is O. fragrans f. aurantiacus, with orange flowers, whereas of course the normal form has white or light yellow flowers. Rather than interfering, I leave it to the person who prepared the page to make the necessary change. Perhaps a line or two on this form would be appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.201.191.146 (talk) 15:05, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect photograph still here

The photograph is very misleading, and it has not been changed, even though it was pointed out almost two years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB1D:2E:3500:980:A3B3:F722:37D4 (talk) 12:14, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

‘Breaking the osmanthus twig’

"Breaking the osmanthus twig and mounting the dragon" is mentioned to be a euphemism for sex, but as a native Chinese speaker, I have never seen this before, and the quotes source doesn't provide its origin in Chinese. Can someone enlighten me on its original Chinese translation? Einsteinoob (talk) 13:01, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
