1. fireweed

   Fireweed is a tall, perennial wildflower, scientifically known as Chamerion angustifolium, often found in the northern hemisphere in areas recently cleared of vegetation by fire. It grows rapidly, has pink or purple flowers, and is known for its ability to colonize open areas, such as sites affected by forest fires. The plant's name is derived from this adaptation to disturbance. Its leaves and young shoots can also be used as food or herbal medicine.
