Hi All,

Came across an interesting article on Wilipedia.
Plants that create their own heat. Some melt
though the snow:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermogenic_plants

These plants would not be something you'd want to plant
in your own garden. Better to give as a gift to an
ex-wife or a relative you did not like (they smell bad):

skunk cabbage
dead-horse arum
carrion flower

:-)

Thanks! I've always wondered how skunk cabbage could beat all those
other herbaceous plants through the snow layers in the spring.

Skunk cabbage is a rite of spring for my brother. There is a bog near
him that he visits to see the first plants of the year.

Got me thinking.
Is skunk cabbage responsible for global warming?
