Skunk Cabbage & Ferns

We've been taking pictures of Skunk Cabbage for years.  The bright yellow seems to call a cheery note in the wetlands in early spring.  It signals the change of seasons for us.

  Ferns like the same moist habitat as they unroll in the spring. 

Wet feet don't bother skunk cabbage. 

The details are fascinating.  I don't know if you can see the pattern on the yellow part of the skunk cabbage formed by the shape of the central flower.
