One of the first signs of Spring is the lowly skunk cabbage, popping up in its spectacularly weird immature form. I have read that this is the only plant species to be exothermic -- it generates a heat signature! Later in the early summer its large green leaves will appear, but for now it looks even weirder than calla lilies.
