Featured Plant
ts’akw’a’ | Skunk Cabbage
This plant of swamps, bogs and other moist sites is so-named because of the strong odour produced by the flowers. These flowers are tiny and borne on a vertical stalk that is hooded by a distinctive bright yellow bract (modified leaf).
Skunk cabbage leaves were used as an undermat for drying berries.
