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
