Skunk Cabbage
Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2019 8:01 am
We took a family hike the other day to find the headwaters of the North Branch of the Raritan. Along the walk, I started noticing skunk cabbage--tightly wound still, not opened yet, but it was there.
I've known skunk cabbage as a harbinger of spring; but in early January? Does anyone know if skunk cabbage are present all year? Or are they telling us something about the kind of (non) winter we're going to have?
