Western Skunk Cabbage, Lysichiton americanus, Araceae. 🌼🥬 ... I LOVE this plant! This was the first plant I ever identified by myself, way before I got into botany, so it holds a special place in my heart! 💚 ... You can see the plant’s pollination tactics at work; its skunky odor attracts flies and beetles. .. The name Lysichiton comes from the Greek lysis meaning “releasing”, and chitin, meaning “a cloak”; referring to the shedding of the spathe. The specific epithet simply means American in origin. ... #lysichitonamericanus #skunkcabbage #westernskunkcabbage #araceae #arum #botany #plants #plantobsessed #naturephotography #plantphotography #pnw https://www.instagram.com/pnw_botany/p/BwASSVdlTV1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=trw59i85gpmj

Check out the spathes on this skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus)! Lots of variability from plant to plant and population to population. Its a great time of year if you live in eastern North America and want to see for yourself. Just remember, tread lightly! #aroid #aroidsofinstagram #Araceae #botany #springiscoming #wildflowers #nativeplants #plantsofinstagram #spathe #inflorescence #skunkcabbage #symplocarpusfoetidus #variationwithinaspecies #ecology #wetlands #biodiversity

Skunk cabbage is like some kind of weird alien plant

Signs of Spring. 1. Lesser Celandine (Ficaria verna), a noxious weed also known as Pilewort, and apparently good for hemorrhoids; 2. Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), which I remember thrashing as a kid to release extra smell (kids are jerks sometimes); 3. Honeybee (Apis mellifera) getting some fresh air and some alone time; 4. Reading about isolating Peas (Pisum sativum) in The Organic Seed Grower by John Navazio, now of @johnnys_seeds; 5. The Callery Pear (Pyrus calleryana), native to China and Vietnam, is ornamental, and started blooming a few days ago all over Philly; 6. Random photo of me about to soak Pois Géant Sans Parchemin (Pisum sativum), an heirloom pea variety featured in Vilmorin-Andrieux (1883) and shared with me by William Woys Weaver.

Found some skunk cabbage on my hike today! 😍
