Western Skunk Cabbage, Lysichiton americanus, is a plant of wet and boggy areas. It lives up to its name, emitting a foul odor when in bloom. It is a very common plant and blooms early in the spring, but the leaves continue to grow and persist throughout the summer. This example was photographed in the swampy areas around Lake Padden.

Another photo of my wife's from our Fragrance Lake hike. There are two things she can't pass up, a fungus or a Skunk Cabbage when it's in bloom. I just hope that doesn't say anything about me. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-wet-walk-...
