Fall colours

I think I'm right in saying that this is Fireweed, displaying its wonderfull fall colours.

My rough plans for 29 September 2018 changed when I saw the weather forecast. I ended up visiting the Reader Rock Garden instead of driving to a different garden. As usual when I go there, it was a bit windy, which always makes photographing flowers, especially ones on long stems, more difficult. It was also overcast and I was hoping that it wouldn't rain. Instead, I found myself standing at the highest point of the garden, with very light snow falling for just a few minutes.

There were still quite a few flowers in bloom, though many were already past their prime. I'm pretty sure these glorious leaves belong to Fireweed. Usually, I see Fireweed growing in the wild, but Reader Rock Garden does have some native plants, too.
