Eastern Skunk cabbage, Symplocarpus foetidus, popping out of the wet areas by the Carmans river...
Gets it's name from the odor it emits when leaves are bruised....Flowers early in the Spring when only the flowers appear above the surface.
Contains Calcium oxalate, making it inedible even if you take the trouble to boil and dry it.
View of the river looking south. Day started out nice and sunny but by the time I got to the river clouds took over and it got a bit windy.
