RE: Wisteria Festival

I didn't think the scent was much compared to the last time I was there, I
could tell it was there and that was about it. Last time I could have stood
there inhaling all day. But I don't have a great sense of smell. My friend,
who has a nose like a bloodhound, said it was strong. I expect a normal
person would have thought it was pleasant but I didn't hear anyone in the
crowd commenting on it.
