Very pretty, and a nice photo. I did not know all that about it; so many things in nature are food... I think something very similar grows around here (USA/Washington state), and I have heard the name "fireweed" a few times.

They are usually the first plants to pop up after a wildfire, hence the name.
Interesting-- did not know that. But it makes sense, because I have seen these mostly in areas of recent forest clearing.
