Skunk Cabbage found
|
Skunk Cabbage found I found my first Eastern Skunk Cabbage aka Symplocarpus foetidus, yesterday(4/13/21). I've been trying find and experience it for a few . It is an unusual plant, it produces heat which allows it bloom very early. I had seen unusual foliage there last season and discovered my surprise and joy that it was indeed Skunk Cabbage. When the plant is bruised it gives off a musky, spunky smell, which probably gives it it's name. If you want see it, you'll probably have get your feet wet or wear boots because it lives in swampy, boggy ares.  |

That looks pretty cool; what part of the country does it grow in?  Elevate me...

My first thought when seeing your picture was the "flower" portion inside looks a great deal like the model of the corona virus we keep seeing on the internet in the news. But it's an interesting looking plant! Pagan  Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

Interesting plant. I've never run across one in the wilds though. Then again there are not too many bogs around here. Have a good one.

I agree, though I had not thought of that. I was elated at finding it and hope to transplant a couple to my place.
