Same of the readers may remember that last fall there was a little ‘accident’ with some of the skunk cabbage seeds: they have started to germinate unexpectedly in the moist vermiculite in October (without a cold period – Friday’s-germinated-seeds).
I was planning to return them to their muddy place but cold weather settled in very early, so they remained planted in a pot in the garage.

Symplocarpus foetidus emerging in early spring (in the dark, reason why a bit etiolated)

Spring came, and it is time to take them back to live with their parents. The roots are not too long yet and it’s just a matter of sticking them into the mud.

I can show on a picture from another year what’s the size of the seedlings roots right now.
They are not fast growers, that’s for sure!
