Skunk Cabbage is a perennial plant found in wetland areas across North America. It is known for its large, broad leaves and distinctive yellow-green flowers that emerge in early spring. The plant thrives in marshy soils and can often be seen near streams and ponds. The name "Skunk Cabbage" comes from the strong odor it emits, which resembles that of a skunk. This smell helps attract pollinators, such as flies and beetles, that are drawn to the scent. Despite its unpleasant aroma, Skunk Cabbage plays an important role in its ecosystem by providing habitat and food for various wildlife.
