Wow, turns out that even the local Eastern Skunk Cabbage that grows
behind my house can heat up 15-27 degrees Celsius above ambient, thereby
melting its way out of the ground on days like this and volatilizing its
stench. I prize this plant because I used to keep bees, including bees
in a glass observation hive in the dining room. The earliest pollen they
would bring in was from the skunk cabbage. At the same time, they would
bring in millet grains from bird feeders. A millet grain just fits in a
pollen basket. Then Spring would happen.
