Sweet Shrub


This is a native North Carolina plant called a "Sweet Shrub".  It has other names: Spice bush, Sweet Betsy, and Carolina Allspice.  It is has an odd flower.  It looks and feels like a fake flower you would buy at a craft store, a little bit dull and dry.  But the leaves are very shiny.  It can have a very sweet scent, but this one didn't smell at all.
