Fireweed

So called because it will grow on burnt ground, but when covered in seeds and en masse I think it looks smokish. Also called Rosebay willowherb.
Church this morning, and a good service with a message that fitted well with recent events, even though it was mostly written before them.
The Queen's cortege was passing about half a mile from here though we didn't go to watch. I did however chart its progress from the helicopter flying overhead which could be seen from the house.
Once it had gone and people had time to leave the area I went for a run and found this mass of fireweed.
Our evening meal contained 3 veg and 2 fruit from the garden. I was going to say "I'd grown" but apples and plums grow themselves.
