Fireweed, going to seed

Late August. It's almost the end of the season for wild flowering plants. Fireweed still carries a few blooms at the top of the spikes, but the air is full of flying seeds.


Long seed pods, pink and green.

Curling, almost ripe. A few seed starting to escape.

And away they go!

Seen at Snakehead Lake.

  1. We saw lots of fireweed, some with seeds ready to fly, on our roadtrip to Neah Bay in WA. - Margy

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
