Yes.... he comes very close to me (like on my desk for his daily morning raisins)

(some mature plants have much larger leaves.) This plant is 30-36 inches in diameter. (I have one that is almost 5 feet across) The flower stands about 15 inches tall... its aroma is the reason for the plants name. A Skunk Cabbage is definately not a sniffer!

We have skunk cabbage in what is left of the woods behind us - actually part of the new house that's there now... BOY DOES IT STINK!!! (yes the house does too - they weren't supposed to build on the wetlands back there!!! ) But I've never actually seen the skunk flower bloom - thanks for sharing, Bill!
