This Year's First Skunk
Just about the time daffodils are providing early color to landscaped yards skunk cabbage brings bright green and yellow to wet areas in the forest of western Washington.
I do not do wetland work, but I do see a lot of skunk cabbage on wet unstable slopes or while traversing through the forest.
