Fireweed is the first responder after a fire. Its lightweight, fluffy seeds—up to 80,000 from a single plant!—ride the wind to settle on the newly cleared ground. Blanketing burned areas in a sea of vibrant pink, it stabilizes the soil and creates a protective nursery for the next generation of life.
