Roger, I think it is fireweed. Here is a photo link. Find the list of pink flowers on the left side of the screen and click on fireweed:

Reply:lady slipper I think.
Reply:These look like Fireweed (epilobium augustifolium); they tend to grow in areas that have been disturbed (such as along highways) or recently burned sites.
Reply:It looks like some kind of wildflower to me.
Reply:Looks like a bee baum.
Reply:Not sure ... it has very distinctive characteristics: 4 free, clawed petals and 4-branched style. It is definitely NOT Ladys Slipper, Bee Balm or Epilobium ... none of them have that character combination.
Reply:It must be some type of wildflower. It's very pretty but I don't know the name. Sorry.
