A quiet morning among Fireweed (Chamerion genus). Donner State Park, Ca. 7-26-24

Wow - what a cool set of shapes. The little twirlies out at the tip of the stigma are really unique.

 

[Kurt Harrigan]

Yep. Crazy looking things, aren't they??

What a great capture Kurt!

I saw a lot of fireweed here in Colorado while hiking and backpacking in the mountains list last week or two, but the fireweed here must be a different variant. I am just downloading my photos now, I want to pull mine up later to see the difference.

I believe there is a few different versions of this. I'm not exactly sure of the exact species we have in this area.
