#1 is a Rhododendron named Cheer
#2 is a Skunk Cabbage (Lysichton americanum) growing down in the bogs.
#3 took offense to being called a squirrel, and asked that I let you know that he is a chipmunk. Yes.... he comes very close to me (like on my desk for his daily morning raisins)

Since you haven't seen one before, Chrissy...
This Skunk Cabbage's leaves are each about 18 inches long. (some mature plants have much larger leaves.)
This plant is 30-36 inches in diameter. (I have one that is almost 5 feet across)
The flower stands about 15 inches tall... its aroma is the reason for the plants name.
A Skunk Cabbage is definately not a sniffer! [Frown]

What a cutie! Though you can have mine also when it's strawberry time - they always take one bite and discard just as the berries ripen! [Mad]

We have skunk cabbage in what is left of the woods behind us - actually part of the new house that's there now...
BOY DOES IT STINK!!! [Frown] (yes the house does too - they weren't supposed to build on the wetlands back there!!! [Mad] ) But I've never actually seen the skunk flower bloom - thanks for sharing, Bill!
