Spring 2020 skunk cabbage. - a photo on Flickriver

Spring 2020 skunk cabbage.

Unfortunately we are not allowed to eat the beautiful leaves raw in salads, because they would cause our poor oral mucosa to burn and swell.

"Ouch, those leaves are full of calcium oxalate crystals!" we might be unable to exclaim, on account of our mouths and throats being all swollen up from the skunk cabbage leaves we ate. Can you imagine!

In Oak Openings Preserve Metropark in Swanton Township in Lucas County, Ohio, on April 24th, 2020, an intermittent stream that flows to an unnamed tributary of Swan Creek, as viewed from the Wabash Cannonball Trail on a section of the North County National Scenic Trail.

Swan Creek flows to the Maumee River, which flows to Lake Erie &c &c.
