Eric, I believe there's one in a garden off of East Seneca Street that I had pointed out to me once. If you're going down Seneca from Stewart, the first left (unmarked) is Sage Place; there's a driveway that goes up to the left and leads to a pretty nice little garden, and before you reach it on the left side is the Osage, if I'm correct.
