Skunk Cabbage
Symplocarpus foetidus
Skunk cabbage is one of the first plants to bloom in spring. Its flowers are often partly or wholly hidden beneath last year's fallen leaves.
Skunk Cabbage is a small genus which consists of only two species with a disjunctional distribution in North America and Northeastern Asia. They are ideal bog plants with huge leaves and very showy spathes from large perennial rhizomes.
Cabbage usually grows as tightly clustered leaves in a compact "head", and maybe a few loose outer leaves around the base.In warmer weather, it flowers.
Cabbage can be picked anytime after the heads form. Cut the cabbage heads when they are firm to the touch, but before they crack or split.
