No Mud, no Lotus

I really find these plants beautiful. They rise out of the mud in the early spring here and have luminous yellow flowers …that stink! They are called skunk cabbage but the name only addresses one part of their nature and I decided to celebrate how they glow in the under-story of the wet forest.
