Question
Do you know what type of plant this is?
Answer
Dear TaraandRich, the plant you have photographed is Symplocarpus foetidus (skunk-cabbage). It is an early flowering plant in the Araceae (arum family) that has an odor and color to trick flies into visiting it (i.e., it resembles carrion because it is fly pollinated). The leaves will appear later after the flowers are finished. Best wishes.
