Description
Monochrome closeup of a dried white seed head of fireweed in Talkeetna, Alaska, USA. Other fireweed plants were blooming in this immediate area, and this one looked like it had been there awhile, so it must have remained from the previous year. Fireweed, chamaenerion augustifolium, is also called great willowherb or rosebay willowherb.
Uncropped and vertical, with a bokeh background, this unique natural beauty features a tall stalk with swirls and curls that create an intriguing tangle. Mostly dispersed, or gone to seed, some white fuzzy puffs still show. On a quiet path in beautiful Alaska, near Denali National Park, Nature created this uniquely weathered botanical abstract--a visual treat for plant-lovers like me.

Larry, thank you so much for the beautiful feature! For now, "unusual plant life" must do, but I'm hoping to identify it. Thanks for appreciating the beauty in it.
