This flower has accompanied me almost all my life and I never knew what it was. It sprouts up everywhere. I remember when I was a kid in London, our playgrounds were the bombed sites of the houses after World War II and these flowers were everywhere. They are quite tall and seem to like to spread. I now applied my Plantsnap app and this is what it told me, a fireweed.
I adore the diagonal 😀

They are quite tall and often bend, the diagonal was more luck than judgement.

It is one the first plants to show up after a fire hence the name. I have seen it growing everywhere after a forest fire burned the area.

That explains why they were growing on the bombed areas in London

Our native version of this is not nearly as colorful. The tiny pale flowers are easy to miss.
