Fire Surrounding Douglas Fir Cone

Flames surround a Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) cone in King County, Washington. Douglas fir cones are unique in that they have three-pronged brachts that extend from between the scales. According to Native American legends, those brachts represent mice that used the cone for protection during forest fires; the mice dove headfirst into the cones and the three prongs represent their hing legs and tail.
