Back to JC Raulston Arboretum Interesting! Although you wouldn't think this was a place to visit during the winter, there were several plants/trees in bloom. They call this their "Winter garden". There was a plant called Winter Daphne (daphne odora)in full bloom and smells just like lemon Pledge! It would be nice to have one of these in the yard. I also found the Japanese Garden nice and would like to visit it during the spring/summer.
