Scoliopus bigelovii (Fetid Adder's Tongue)
Muir Woods NHS, CA
Finally a plant with a name that is fitting! These lilies stink to high heaven and are pollinated almost exclusively by flies (though I don't know if a specific group of flies is involved, though it probably is). Amazingly, these plants come out usually in January and early February. This specimen was photographed at the end of November! Can anyone say "Global Warming"
