Plant-Lover's Tour: Summer's Survivors

After the summer we just had with all the heat and lack of rain, there's nothing we love more about plants than their tenacious resiliency. Yes, the JC Raulston Arboretum is a little brown and crunchy, but so many plants sailed through the summer, and a bunch of them look absolutely fabulous right now.
