Came across an interesting article on Wilipedia. Plants that create their own heat. Some melt though the snow:
These plants would not be something you'd want to plant in your own garden. Better to give as a gift to an ex-wife or a relative you did not like (they smell bad):

Skunk cabbage is a rite of spring for my brother. There is a bog near him that he visits to see the first plants of the year.

Got me thinking. Is skunk cabbage responsible for global warming?
