Epilobium angustifolium
Along roadsides in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Saw these and they were quite pretty spotted all over the "countryside".
It's called Fireweed because it's one of the first plants to come up and bloom after a forest fire. It likes any clearing, such as a forest clearcut, but gives way to taller shrubs in succeeding years.
