If you've been out and about on the Cape this week and near a freshwater wetland you have probably noticed some odd looking bulbous things poking out of the mud. They are dark and almost alien looking....
A closer look will reveal that they are a plant. Most appear somewhat purple but some are a bit more green, probably depending on where they are found.
Look even closer and you'll see they are unfurling...
And some even have odd little round flowers....
It's skunk cabbage season! Just don't step on one or pick it because you'll find out how it earned its stinky name....
