Last weekend we went to the UC Davis Arboretum located in Davis California. If you get a chance to visit the UC Davis Arboretum it is worth the trip. The walk is about 3.5 miles. The plants in the 17 gardens and collections of the UC Davis Arboretum represent a living museum. This plant fascinated me to no end. So I had to get up close and personal. Enjoy.
