On our way back home and only about 15 miles from here, we saw this relatively rare sight; a very large patch of fireweed in bloom. It isn’t common to see fireweed growing in profusion. Normally, there might be two or three plants close together, but this patch covered close to an acre.
Fireweed has a beautiful pinkish-purple blossom and the plant is both edible and medicinal.
Makes you wonder why it grew so abundantly in this area.
Yes, and I haven’t figured it out. :))
