Fireweed
Epilobium angustifoliumEvening Primrose FamilyFireweed is usually found in woodland areas that have been cleared or burned off Not often seen in St. Lawrence County, 10 years have passed since I spotted some in an area cleared near Heuvelton, NY. I've finally managed to replace the poor photos from that time. Very striking plant especially in mass. Carried by silky threads seeds are dispersed over large areas. July 27, 2008 Utility work has cleared areas along Route 56 allowing some large stands of Fireweed to become a common sight along the road. |
