This is what the single stalk of #Fireweed looked like two years ago. I'm glad the flowers are so beautiful, since it propagates like bamboo, growing runners under the surface in every direction.

@mikemccaffrey@pdx.social I have the same problem with Foxglove. Unfortunately, it makes a very, very bad tea.
