In the Spring of 2022(?) Sharon and Ron invited me over to see a Skunk cabbage, I saw it as a mild curiosity. However, a few months later I was in the high Arctic and was shown plants, small biotopes, where the plants managed to raise the temperature by many degrees above freezing. So I was anxious to see the Skunk cabbage again. Yesterday I was given the opportunity thanks to Sharon and Ron who made a trail in the snow for me to follow. And yes, "Volker" there was a lot of "Schnee von Gestern" on the ground.
There are 2 leaves, maybe 15cm tall, apparently poking through the snow of comparable depth.
The next photos are taken from directly over the plant(s) and you can see for yourselves just how warm this biotope must be:
Witness to a Miracle:
Exothermic life
Mother Nature excels here
Abundant displays
