Common Flax


This macro photo was taken on 23 June 2015, on a botany walk at Griffith Woods, off Highway 8 in Calgary. These small, delicate flowers on long, thin stems are almost impossible to photograph when it's windy, or even with a slight breeze : )
We have three species of Flax growing wild in Alberta - Yellow Flax, Common Flax and Wild Blue Flax. This photo shows Common Flax, which is not a native plant, unlike the other two species. Common Flax has flowers that are a deeper blue than those of Wild Blue Flax. It is an annual plant that is cultivated for its linseed oil and fibres.
