Hello! I shopped the ditches this morning, and came home with buckets of fireweed… but just because a person has buckets of one particular flower, doesn’t mean they should use them all does it?!
So I added cow parsley and a few greens, but I’m still dreaming of that bucket of fireweed and hoping to share that later.
Did you know fireweed is one of the first flowers to appear after a fire? Hence the name… and it’s the official emblem of the Yukon Territory in Canada.
… microblogging through the summer …

I spent a month in Alaska in 2025. Love the fire weed that I saw everywhere. I have checked online every place I can find, but all they sell are either plants or weeds, which will not do well in Arkansas. What I want is silk or some kind of artificial fireweed for a vase. Do you have any idea where I could get some? I have checked Etsy, eBay, all of the hobby shops thanks, Ruth
