skunk cabbage
Skunk cabbage is a perennial wildflower that belongs to the Araceae family and is native to North America. Its scientific name is Symplocarpus foetidus. It is characterized by its unique smell, similar to a skunk, which it uses to attract pollinators. It is also known for its ability to generate heat in order to melt surrounding snow and ice, enabling it to bloom early in the year. Its bulbous leaves and small flowers usually bloom in wetland areas.
