Description
Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) is a special flower that heals environments, animals, and people after traumatic or disruptive situations. The Fireweed flower got its name because it is the first plant to grow abundantly in areas struck by forest fire. Plants like this are called “pioneer species” because they grow in land that has been disturbed. After trees regrow to shade the area, the Fireweed no longer gets enough sun, but its seeds stay in the ground. When another forest fire passes through, the seeds germinate and the Fireweed flower grows and blooms once again.
Fireweed is also called “bomb-weed”; during World War II, it spread quickly and blossomed in the bomb craters. Fireweed benefits all life in environments affected by trauma, including plants, animals, and people.
The plant is an easy symbol of release, rebirth, and potential for something innovative and new.
