Autumn!

The Tea Olives are Blooming!  Tea Olive (Osmanthus) are growing throughout all the gardens at Stoney Hill Farm.  The Ginger Lily are still blooming as well as a few Honeysuckle, but right now the Tea Olives fill the air with heavenly scent.    

Osmanthus fragrans has many, many tiny flowers that are powerfully fragrant. 



 

Sally and Cottage Cat are on their way to work at The Stoney Hill Farm office. 
Many Tea Olives line our driveway.  We enjoy our walk as we sniff along the way.

Butterflies are everywhere this time of year. 
They love the Zinnias!
