MD

some of them look like Lily of the Valley when they first emerge and others look like milkweed.

Other than that I have no idea.

BTW is that a runway down the middle of the picture?

Not a good close-up, but I'll guess skunk cabbage.

Yes it's a runway, have stands all along it, runs for about 300 yards with a creek running paralel to it. If it's Lily of the Valley are they eatable, do the deer eat it? If they do looks like they havnt touched it.

Appears to be "Skunk Cabbage." If you get down and smell it, it should stink if it is Skunk.

I have an area like that simular situation, low land with a creek that runs close by. I have skunk cabbage growing in the bottom this year. Haven't seen it down the bottom before but it looks just like you picture.
