This crop of flax is unusual in our travels into the country. When we saw this field of blue we had to stop and capture the scene. We see miles of yellow canola at this time of year but this is the first I noticed flax in bloom. I understand that this crop is planted as a rest crop as it takes up different nutrients than canola.
