Epilobium angustifolium syn. Chamaenerion angustifolium

Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) was chosen as Yukon's floral emblem in 1957. I'm glad it was! Such a pretty flower! 🥰🌿🌸 This photo was taken along the North Klondike Highway in The Yukon Territory #yukon #fireweed #midnightsun #sunset

@gjones Thank you! I love how the sunset also has that purple/pink hue! I like to think its because of the abundance of Fireweed we have here that is reflecting its beautiful color to the sky 🥰

@gjones In the summers we can have sunshine at Midnight! 🌞 For a while it doesn't really get dark. Between 2am and 3am the light fades to dusk but quickly comes back as a sunrise 😊 The Yukon truly is the Land of the Midnight Sun!

@gjones Anything to do with Winter is hard to deal with! 😅 I hate winter! I become a hermit..lol! All in all I'm used to it.

@gjones The Okanagan (Vernon) is my original home. I'd love to move back one day!! But The Yukon is pretty spectacular! Truly one of Canada's most beautiful places! I also love the prairies tho! I'm a farm girl at heart! My in-laws live in Alberta and I love visiting their place! ❤ The vast sunsets are to die for! 🥰
