Eastern Skunk Cabbage.

The western skunk cabbage is yellow and quite pretty, from a distance.

I just want to explain the very clever double entendre here because Iâm not sure how many people will get it.
Skunk cabbage is notable for blooming in late winter, even when snow is still on the ground. How can a flower bloom in snow? Well, it actually generates its own heat, which can be enough to melt the snow around it and allow pollinators to reach the flower. This heat can be extremely important to early season pollinators, since they can rest and warm up in the flower even when it might otherwise be too cold to fly.
So that spathussy really do be hot.
