At entrance to the North Carolina Arboretum Education Center |
I loved the use of water, cement and pots at the entrance to the Education Center. Lots of intriguing combinations, all fastidiously labeled.

A Bonsai dwarf forsythia |
Although small, the arboretum's Bonsai collection was healthy and arranged beautifully in its own section.
No Carolina arboretum--North or South-- would be complete without a dozen or so Magnolias. Here's (sweet bay) Magnolia virginiana 'Jim Wilson'.

Calycanthus floridus |
Two more stunning standouts were Sarracenia leucophylla 'Tamok', a carnivorous pitcher plant that was in bloom while we were there. Another plant that rewarded our visit with a floral display was Calycanthus floridus. This particular plant had the sweet scent of vanilla crossed with peach.
