This wonderful colourful field caught my eye this morning so I collected my camera and captured a couple of images, this is looking North West from Barrow Hall Road across to Shopland.
The farmers crop is known as Flax (Linum Usitatissimum), also known as common flax or linseed, it is a member of the genus Linum in the family Linaceae, It is a food and fibre crop cultivated in cooler regions of the world, today however is extremely hot and already in the high twenties.
The textiles made from flax are known in the Western countries as linen, and traditionally used for bed sheets, underclothes, and table linen.
The oil is known as Linseed Oil, in addition to referring to the plant itself, the word "flax" may refer to the unspun fibers of the flax plant.
The plant species is known only as a cultivated plant, and appears to have been domesticated just once from the wild species Linum biennia, called pale flax.
The telegraph poles have a five degree list to the North, this is due to the excessive winds we often encounter across the flat landscape.
