Fireweed
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. - Plato
Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) derives its name from the fact that it is often the first plant to colonize in forests after fires burn back all other vegetation. Fireweed was one of the first wildflowers to grow in abundance after the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens.

- Welcome to Photo Buffet, a growing collection of images showcasing the vast textures, shapes, and colors found in nature. My goal as a photographer is to present slices of God's handiwork that we sometimes miss in the daily rush--hidden treasures placed there by a Creator who majors in details.
This looks something like a wildflower around here called, “Sweet Rocket” (at least that’s what we call it.) I wonder if it’s one and the same?
The color is brilliant and lovely..as always.
Very nice Bonnie, I really like the top one a lot, it has a soft elegant feel to it. Great work.
Beautiful. Your pictures amaze me.
