Product Overview
Fireweed was chosen as Yukon's floral emblem in 1957, and it is represented on the twelfth coin in the Floral Emblems series. It is a hardy plant and grows along Yukon roadsides, river bars and clearings from mid-July to September. Its blooms are a bright magenta, making it one of the most attractive plants in the north.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Lisa Thomson-Khan features a colour portrait of the official floral emblem of the Yukon. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
The fireweed's stalk-type blossoms range in colour from orange-scarlet buds to purply-mauve flowers, all in one plant (though occasionally a white one may be seen), which sometimes grows to a height of four feet. Its shoots, young leaves, and flowers are edible raw, the flower bud clusters can be also cooked as a vegetable.
