Thanks Devon, The skunk cabbage is interesting in that the flower make heat to warm up the bees and bugs that visit it early in the spring. The temperature in the flower is warmer than the surrounding air.

There are no flowers yet so yes it is too early for cp flowers-- but I live just 15 min. walk from the bog so I go there to stretch my legs - and stretch my dog's legs.
No I have not been to the other ponds this year.
