Caveat: Tree #1625 “The fireweed blooms”

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree hung in the background while a fireweed plant bloomed [correction below].

A blooming fireweed plant in the center, on a hillside, lots of undergrowth and shrubberies then some conifers in the background up the hill, and a blue sky

[UPDATE: My friend and blog-reader, Pam, has corrected me: this plant is a foxglove, not fireweed. I should know this… but I didn’t.]

    au contrair dear friend! you need to pull out the Alaska wildflower book I left at Rockpit! I believe that you will find that it is foxglove rather than fireweed. yes, color and growth habit are very similar but flower form very different. Foxglove has tubal shaped flower. Fireweed has four petals.

    that book is an antique! I bought it when living at Ft. Richardson from July 1973 thru Feb 1976.
