Day 180: Happy First Day of Skunk Cabbage, at least officially, as far as I am concerned. I've seen a few tiny yellow tips prior to this, and have been unwilling to spend $20 on gas to get to my favourite bog just to take one photo, although I'm sure they're in bloom by Swofford Pond. This year's selection came from a small patch on Lillie Dale Road which is largely overgrown with grass. The grass hides extremely soggy ground, so I had to content myself with zooming in for this shot. Even so, the distinctive skunky fragrance (which, incidentally, I find quite enjoyable) filled the air. It wouldn't have been spring without Skunk Cabbage.
