Fireweed is a symbol of rebirth and regrowth; as it is the first plant to grow after the ground has been disturbed...most commonly, the earth is disturbed by wildfires caused by lightening. Hence the name "fireweed". The brilliant magenta/purple flowers cover entire meadows in Alaska and throughout the North Country and is a bittersweet reminder of the beauty born of disturbance. Fireweed blooms all summer long from the bottom to top, so you can tell how much summer is left by how high the blooms are on the stalk.
