The wilderness of Homer, Alaska in the USA spans for miles and many travelers will find old barns such as this one which have been abandoned for many years. Wildflowers known as Cow Parsnip, surround the old barn and have grown halfway up the walls leaving only the roof totally free of the natural growth of the wilderness.

Cow Parsnip grows to be between 3 and 10 feet tall with leaves which are rough, hairy and large and divide themselves into 3 segments. The wildflowers blossom in a white/cream hue in a flat topped cluster with five petals on each flower and send out a sweet fragrance. These wildflowers thrive in woodlands, forest openings, grasslands and wet meadows or bordering streams and lakes.

While hiking through the forested regions of Homer, Alaska, the possibility of crossing paths with one of these old barns is extremely likely. Trying to explore this one is out of reach as the wildflowers have surrounded it blocking out the paths that once led to its front door.

Alaska. Kenai Peninsula. Homer. Weathered structure half buried with Cow Parsnip. The Cow Parsnip (Heracleum maximum) is the only member of the Hogweed genus native to North America.
