The yard was owned by the Stewart's who also owned Stewart's Photo downtown Anchorage, who are now deceased. I ran across a white fireweed growing in the wild along the bottom of the Matanuska River, a few years ago, but it had red sepals. It was gorgeous, and I did a painting of it. These are the first all white blossoms I've seen. Gail Hello DHT;

I've never seen this anywhere before, wild or cultivated. I wonder how they obtained or cultured this. Amazing! I’ve never seen this anywhere before, wild or cultivated.
