an overblown wintersweet

The wintersweet has already been past their peak when I  visited the wintersweet garden. However, flowers were still giving off a sweet fragrance.

Wintersweet is typical flower of winter.
It gives off sweet smell.
People visit the valley to find some signs of spring.
But, they can find only wintersweet in bloom.
Their shadows are still long on the ground.
Because, it is still midwinter.
I am really longing for spring.
