Description
The amazing view of the Alaskan tundra in autumn is a feast for the eyes. The fireweed provides blasts of yellow, gold and red to set the landscape on fire.
Fireweed is a pioneer. It’s tiny seeds ride the wind like parachutes and begin new life where fate carries them. Even in clear-cuts, roadsides and burns, fireweed plants itself and rises up – stately, steadfast and strong. It rarely stands solo. Fireweed builds a thriving plant community through spreading seeds and lateral root networks.
