Fireweed (Chamerion augustiflorium)
Fireweed photographed off of the Domtar Overlook section of the Bridge to Bridge Trail located in the City of Timmins Northeastern Ontario Canada
Fireweed is a native plant that’s found throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere including some areas in the Boreal forests. It earned its name because this plant is the first colonizer in the soil after forest fires. In Great Britain it also earned the name Bombweed due to the rapid colonization of land that was bombed during WWII. Fireweed is an important plant for honey producers as it attracts the bees and hummingbirds as well. This beautiful plant is a member of the Evening Primrose family (Onagraceae).
