Fireweed- Chamaenerion angustifolium, Epilobium angustifolium

            Fireweed is a flowering plant in the willowherb family. It is native throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere, including large parts of the boreal forests. Fireweed is a pioneer species that quickly colonises sites of forest fires and prevents further damage while providing a blanket of vegetation for recovering fauna to create new habitats in and for pollinators to foster the re-establishment of a diverse set of flora.  It reaches its average peak colonization after five years and then begins to be replaced as trees and brush grow larger. Fireweed is the territorial flower of the Yukon and features in its flag.
