The earliest native wildflower to bloom in Eastern Canada and the U.S. is Skunk Cabbage. The Thermogenic (heat producing) plant can maintain an internal temperature of 15-35 degrees C above the surrounding air, allowing it to poke through snow and ice to flower. The plant consists of the purplish Spathe which opens to reveal an oval Spadix which is covered with tiny flowers. After flowering it turns into a good sized Green, leafy plant. You find Skunk Cabbage around moist places..wetlands, creeks, lakes etc.
