I am looking for Osmanthus
   the type my Grandfather planted in our yard when I was young;
   the kind Chinese make jam with the flowers then use it to scent the
   drink (as the famous Sour Plum Soup), various rice cakes;
   the one has been in so many Chinese literature whcih usually
   associated with the Fall seaason....

The landscape consultant told me that there were 4 kinds of Osmanthus
which blooms in Fall, with tiny white sweet flowers.
Could someone tell me the right one - is it 'Osmanthus fragrans' or
'Osmanthus x fortunei' or .....?

TIA
