Prince Gallitzin State Park

The alien like blooms of Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus).

Skunk Cabbage belongs to a group of plants that uses a process called thermogenesis to raise its temperature higher than the surrounding environment.

It is useful in melting snow and ice to allow the flower to emerge from the frozen ground. It is also used to help spread its stinky scent to attract carrion feeding insect pollinators.
