Such a Warm Stinking Flower
As promised, I have finally gotten around to writing something about Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus). My interest in this flower started late last week when two of my friends were posting pictures of their first of the year wildlfower; Jennifer photo 1, photo 2, and photo 3 & Salamanderdance photo 1 and photo 2. But, after thinking about it, this isn’t my first wildflower for 2007. In January before the 2007 “Ice Age”, I saw dandelions growing out on the lawn. So, this really is my 2nd flower species for 2007 but, does very much feel like my 1st flower also this year.
You might ask why this is a remarkable wildflower? (more…)
New Flickr Collection and Layout
Not sure if everyone has noticed that many of our fellow flickr friends have changed the look of their photostream! If you view flickr’s blog at you will see that they have given us flickr folks some options that we have been begging for (for quite some time now)!
First, take you many similar sets and you now can create a collection of those sets! I took all my wildlife sets and made a Wildlife Collection. Just use your organizer to make the collection and is as easy as pie! Also, flickr has given us the option of changing your page layout! View my photostream or just go to this link to change yours.
Yeah for flickr!
BTW: Going to try and work on the Skunk Cabbage article this evening!
