Two skunk cabbages encircled by a bramble of swamp dewberries trailing on the ground in the leaf litter.
Caught these two out foraging swamp dewberries together.
It’s a little too early guys, calm down. #nativeplants #skunkcabbage
A shiny and smooth deep maroon skunk cabbage, completely unscathed.
The expression on this one upon learning that it’s perfect. #skunkcabbage #nativeplants
Two maroon skunk cabbage, one with a spathe wide open with spadix dotted with bisexual flowers in a very symmetrical pattern.
That is some texture. #bloomscrolling #skunkcabbage
They're having an important meeting. Please do not interrupt, it's rude. #skunkcabbage #nature
A shoot, white, dead skin on a conical, split shoot tip which is pale yellow-green and fleshy at the base, emerging from wet leafy mud with three red (darkly speckled red with green speckled red barely expressed on a few tops) spathes (exterior hood/sheathe formed from bracts)
Some fresh shoots and a spathe expressing more green dappled red, and two older shoots with dead tips, in slow-moving shallow wetland streamlet, by a mossy log remnant.
A healthy red, green-dappled spathe revealing a pale yellow-green globose spadix (inflorescence on fleshy stem). This plant is surrounded by dead sedge leaves, and the spathe emerges above the muddy, leafy ground.
Two healthy young red spathes with another obscured by dead shoot leaves. Tiny bright green new shoots are beginning to emerge between the spathes.
Happy #Spring, Folks! The Redwinged Blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) are singing. The wetlands awaken.
Say hi to the first #flower of the year, the Eastern #SkunkCabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus). They are throwing up shoots while blooming in a rush now that they have been released from the snowpack

Some photos from my @matthaeinichols visit this past weekend. Early spring skunk cabbage and outdoor rock garden succulents to some beautiful blooms in the conservatory! 🌱 #skunkcabbage #succulents

An eastern skunk cabbage in full bloom inside a circle of melted ice.
This one was properly buried under ice the other day and is already in its bisexual phase. #phenology #skunkcabbage
A cluster of two gorgeous maroon and lemon streaked skunk cabbage spathes emerging out of a mucky swamp that they melted.
If you're still struggling to find life in the half-melted tundra, have you tried checking your swamp? #spring #skunkcabbage
This skunk cabbage had two spathes emerge.
A spathe sliced an opening through its winter coat and was ready to escape.
Beautifully colored unfurled leaves of a light yellow-green color, impressively large, next to a maroon and yellow spathe in a swamp.
Large unfurled leaves emerging from a half-frozen swamp.
Farewell, early rising skunk cabbages. It's time to be buried alive again. It was lovely to meet you for a few hours. Perhaps we shall meet again in, uhhhh...May, probably, at the rate we're going. #skunkcabbage #wetlands
Unfurled skunk cabbage leaf hugs its maroon streaked spathe.
Cute and snuggly! 🖤 #skunkcabbage #nativeplants #bloomscrolling
The bright yellow, hood shaped spathe of a Lysichiton americanus rises above its still furled bright green leaves. Swamp lanterns are also commonly called skunk cabbage because the flower stinks in order to attract the flies and beetles it needs to pollinate it. These plants are in a boggy area covered with dead leaves. Soon the stream banks and marshy spots will be full of bright yellow "hoodies" succeeded by the plant's huge leaves.
The first swamp lantern, aka skunk cabbage, I've seen this season.

These are warm. Texting catbird now - pay no attention to the week's forecast, it's just been hacked. Time to migrate, hurry up now before someone takes your spot. #skunkcabbage #springishere

That's how I know it's officially spring in central Illinois. 😊
Two skunk cabbbages poking out of a half melted swamp.
The snow is melting and it seems the swamp still has some life left in it after all. #skunkcabbage #swamps
Scenery of a late spring woodland swamp. Fully leafed out skunk cabbage crowd the mucky swamp water in the foreground. In the background is a lush mixed forest of deciduous trees and hemlocks. A large, bowed log rests in the center.
Really missing that swamp log! #naturesky #swamps #skunkcabbage

A view of a forest with two fallen trees in the top of the photo and clusters of skunk cabbage and horsetail next to a rusty colored mineral spring known as 'Iron Mike' flowing in the lower left. There is a tree framing the left hand side and trees in the background.

Was trying to check on the other trilliums to see if any more have bloomed but um…yeah…
The swamp wishes you the best of luck in your future endeavors, trilliums.
