Lifestyle: plant identification from field guide: flax

The tutor describes another plant identification.

Crossing a sunny field, I passed a five-petaled blue flower this morning that I can’t find in my guide. Searching images of “blue wild flowers” on the ‘net, however, I found the identical plant: flax.

On the plant I saw, the leaves grow up along the stem and are long and narrow. They give the stem a woven appearance, similar to that of hedge mustard (see my post here). The flower might be 2.5cm in diameter.

I’ll be sharing more finds:)
