Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) at Shawsheen River Reservation near Andover in eastern Massachusetts

Beneath the boardwalk is Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) in bloom Protected inside each brownish spath is a greenish spadix covered with tiny yellow flowers. This is the best photo I have of this hard-to-see flower.
