I spent ages arranging this shot. Or at least it probably felt like that for my father, who had to stop the car so I could take this shot out the window. ;-)
Thanks dad!
When it blooms, beautiful blue flowers appear.
These give the flax field a beautiful blue color.
The very fragile blue flower can only be admired for a few days....
This field of poppies near Royston in England stretched pretty near as far as the eye could see. They were there because the herbicide intended to suppress them didn't work. Small blessings... The linseed (flax) that were the intended crop make a lovely backdrop.

Happy Friday and weekend!
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate the faves and kind comments very much.
A flax lily, Dianella sp. Not sure if it is the same species as the flax lily in the previous photo. This one flowered a couple of months earlier. The stamens also look different in the two. Perhaps it is just this flower is younger.
Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves.

These beautiful fields of Appar Blue Flax were grown in Eastern Washington. I have used a shot of them in the past for a Sliders Sunday Group composite image. See here flic.kr/p/2mk4YMn
It is an indeterminate plant. The flowers you see one morning fall off that day, and a new set of flowers come the next day. The seed is processed and the Bureau of Land Management and other State agencies use the seed for conservation programs or to restore rangeland after a wildfire. Flax is also used in a lot of mining and roadside mitigation projects. HSoS!
