OK, what is your first aroid up and at 'em this spring?? Here in my zone 6 garden it is the typical Symplocarpus foetidus, aka, the skunk cabbage:

I dug a couple of these up from the woods last fall and shared them with people and then planted a couple in my shade area back in the woods behind the house. I'm glad to see they took the shock in stride Dan

    Very nice. It must have been hard work digging these up as they have stolons at least 2 feet long/deep! Nice work though. How is the smell. I thought they were supposed to bloom in December.

    Yeah, they are a huge pain to dig....not likely to try that again!!

    No smell at all as far as I can tell...people tend to exaggerate that sort of thing to tell a story I think :o)

    Trust me, nothing blooming in December here....these are right on time for my climate.....same time as the Crocus here in PA :o) Dan

    I remember smelling a colony of these in Long Island. Nasty stuff.
