Right around Spring Vacation Skunk Cabbage start popping out from the wet ground near wetlands, marshes and streams. It is one of the first flashes of color...and aroma!!
As spring evolves large green leaves roll out to form two foot high leaves sometimes having a width of one foot...you feel as if you have walked into a prehistoric garden. The flowers that look like large yellow lillies are a big attraction to butterflies, beetles and flies.
The beautiful green folige lasts through the fall and gives a calming effect to the forest. One must be careful tho , as they are poisonous to humans and mammals.
