Gotta ask the question: Is it fragrant? It looks like it smells good.

Carl, it's only been open a couple of days and I haven't smelled anything yet. But as Steve (the other Steve--the one with the GOOD weather!)
mentioned, it's supposed to be fragrant. Hopefully I'll be able to give a better report within the next couple of days.

HIGHLY fragrant!! The scent should happen the first day it is fully open, especially when the sun is strong.

Wonderful! I can almost smell it from here.
