In August, Fireweed paints the Downeast landscape a vibrant purply pink.
The tall spires are laden with elegant, delicate little flowers.
Turns out that this afternoon I’m not the only one interested in Fireweed on the side of the road.

you just reminded me…I fell in love with FIreweed last year on our trip to Alaska and brought some seeds home to plant. Love the color! Never realized it was on the East Coast.
More often than not, it’s viewed as a weed out here!
Fireweed makes the most delicious jelly! We have a enough plants in our neck of the woods to be able to make a batch of jelly most years. I’d love to find a stand of it like in your photo.
I’ve heard that!
