Flax in All its Glory

source We saw this field of flax in bloom last year in early June, and so when we passed it this year on our way to the campground, I was a bit surprised to see them in heavy bloom again. The bright blue doesn’t last long and so I photographed the field early Saturday morning. When we were leaving Door County on Sunday afternoon, the field had taken on a decided gray cast. The blue flax bloom was nearly at its end.

Linens spun from flax have also been found in Egyptian tombs. Linen thread is actually spun from the stem of the flax once it has been dried and processed. The cloth made from flax is extremely strong.

  13. Loved all your latest images and words. I decided to leave you a note here.
    A vegetarian, for the most part, I have flax seed in my diet. I had no idea how pretty the flower (thus fields) were or the other uses for it. Nor the long history of it..
    Thank you for sharing this.

  15. I remember a former post of yours about flax. It sure is a pretty flower. We’re fans of flax-seeds at home, cus of the omegas. I didn’t know till you posted that first one that they had such a winsome bloom.
