Western skunk cabbage. These young budding leaves and flowers are shown in late March, earlier in the year than I first observed this plant. They are just emerging from the swamp where they lay dormant over winter.
This artwork is a watercolour by Michelle Wiebe (@seachelle_paints on Insta). We did this and my next instalment one evening together back in March.
