Ep. 27 - Spring Ephemerals: Skunk Cabbage

It's not a skunk... and it's not a cabbage... This month, Steve and Bill discuss Skunk Cabbage. The guys go over the spathe, spadix, contractile roots, and thermogenesis, among other things. We also pose maybe too many questions to our audience:1. Is Skunk Cabbage a clonal species?2. Can Skunk Cabbage have multiple inflorescences? 3. Do warblers nest in Skunk Cabbage spathes? 4. Does Skunk Cabbage heat up to to promote cross pollination? Enjoy (and help us answer these questions)!
