They do not have skunk cabbage in Missouri, at least growing naturally. There are apparently specimens of the species from Missouri, but they have been determined to have been from intentionally planted individuals. Here in Indiana, we have skunk cabbage, and it is usally my first native flowering plant of the year as well.Scott Namestnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039569660182814907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920285342579923379.post-68204790691433682362011-02-11T09:17:47.422-05:002011-02-11T09:17:47.422-05:00Beautiful!
