Description
One of the first wildflowers that is often overlooked because it is not what one typically thinks of as what is a flower.
Eastern skunk cabbage has the ability to generate temperatures 27 to 60 degrees above air temperature through cyanide resistant cellular respiration. This allows it to melt through frozen ground, this ability puts it in a small group of plants that exhibit thermogenesis.
