What is this flower?

2006-06-11 Thread Gary Nunn 


Has anyone seen anything like this flower before?  I did a Google search,
but didn't come up with anything. I probably wasn't using the right
terminology.

Who would have figured something that such an outstanding 
flower was related to skunk weed (skunk cabbage) that we 
use to find during summer vacations although those plants 
had outstanding smells so perhaps it makes sense. Didn't
take long to figure out not to break a leaf :-)
