| Finally a good shot of a skunk cabbage flower. The leaves are the largest of any native plant in the region. Its flowers are produced in the spadix contained within the large, bright yellow spathe; it is among the first flowers to appear in spring. The skunk cabbage also produces heat. During the Winter the heat it produces melts the snow around it so that it is able to survive. |
