Yes, my initial thought also went to skunk cabbage, but Jim’s post said he took a long walk to ID this plant. Skunk cabbage plants are close by in the Celery Farm. Maybe Jim’s comment was tongue in cheek. Then I was duped. However when I look at the picture, the ground surrounding the sprout doesn’t look particularly swampy. I am thinking more like a rich, leaf littered woodland floor. I could be wrong, but I am still sticking with Mayapple.
