Yesterday I saw skunk cabbage in some marshy areas along I-5, so maybe it's that time in the woods below the Viewpoint, too.

The skunk cabbages grow along the streams that come out of nowhere. These streams start as seeps.

When skunk cabbages first bloom, it's as if they come from nowhere. They rise up through the bluish, clayish mud and unfurl themselves in yellow perfection. As they mature, their leaves become larger and more numerous, but they continue producing "blossoms." Actually, the true flowers are on the pistil, while the yellow "petals" are, in truth, leaves.
