If today's photo theme was yellow... -- Skunk cabbage

Some rather handsome specimens of skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) along the road from Oban to Ganavan. I didn't put my nose to them...
Postscript added 13th May, 2009:
And this is a photo taken on May 10. The leaves are stunning, the smell is a bit like a fox' lair -- pungent, to say the least. You can see why it's called "cabbage"...
