FIREWEED



The fireweed is known to be seen when a forest fire has wiped out an entire forest. That is why it is called fireweed. Fireweed usually has pink petals. Sunlight is what this plant needs to stay alive. It needs a moist climate and mild temperature and weather. Fireweed (like said above) comes out when a forest fire wipes out at least a very small section of the forest. Like most plants whenever the wind starts to pick up, the seeds fly off of the plant and land in a different location. afterward the seeds sink into the ground and later come out as a fireweed plant.

The essay was informative and to the point. The discription of the plant was good and I didn't know how the Firebrush got it's name so, that's a great piece of information to know.
