Shanghai residents finally had the chance to enjoy the late-blooming sweet-scented osmanthus yesterday, more than a month later than normal, Shanghai Daily reported.

The sweet-scented flowers in Guilin Park in Xuhui District, Shanghai Botanic Garden in Xuhui and Grand View Garden in Qingpu District are now all in full bloom, the first large scale blossom across the city in recent years, Shanghai Morning Post reported.
