Symphoricarpos foetidus (Skunk Cabbage)

Symphoricarpos foetidus, commonly known as Skunk Cabbage, is a wetland plant native to North America. It is characterized by its large, cabbage-like leaves and distinctive skunk-like odor, which attracts pollinators. Skunk Cabbage is known for its ability to generate heat, allowing it to bloom early in the spring when other plants are still dormant. It forms dense clumps of foliage and can grow up to 3 feet tall.
