Friday, 30 October 2009 - Mid-summer Fireweed

I don't love flowers the way most women seem to. I don't live to plant them in my garden, I abhor floral prints, and receiving a bouquet certainly won't cure any ills caused by a significant other. However, I have a soft spot for Alaskan wildflowers and as far as I'm concerned, fireweed reigns over them all. I've missed the plant keenly since moving first to the Mojave and then the Sonoran deserts and so I was giddy with glee when, during our Alaskan vacation this summer, fireweed was making a strong showing.
