We have a Skunk Cabbage in Washington but it has yellow upright spathes very unlike this with its brown and green "flowers" down at the base of the plant. This was photographed in The Ravines, a park in western Michigan near Grand Rapids, and I am posting it this evening because I am not at home and probably will not be able to post anything tomorrow morning. I have been out orchid hunting all day and will be doing the same at least part of the day tomorrow. It was a reasonably successful day. I visited three locations, hiked about six miles, and found six different orchids if one counts the different varieties as well as the different species. My apologies, too, for the delay in responding to comments - just haven't had time today.

This Skunk Cabbage, photographed in western Michigan in the Grand Rapids Ravines Park, is very different from the Skunk Cabbage we have in Washington, and a different genus as well. This is the spathe and the flowers are the small white objects inside.

This Skunk Cabbage does not grow in Washington. It was photographed in Michigan in a park near Grand Rapids called The Ravines.

This Skunk Cabbage is in a different genus from the yellow-flowered Skunk Cabbage we have in Washington. It stinks just as badly, though.
