(Chrysanthemum arcticum)
Of the Aster family, these white daisies bloom in Southern and
Western Alaska during the month of July.

(Epilobium angustifolium)
Fireweed is found throughout most of Alaska. Its lovely pink blossoms
grow from a stock 3-10 feet tall, blossoming from July through August.
As the blossoming season ends, white feathery seed casings replace blloms
along the stock. Spring shoots are edible and its nectar makes delightful
honey.
