this flax seed didn't progress as well as in previous years...the seed heads make interesting details in dried flower arrangements...

Very nice blue. It's strange how you can get a good year for certain plants and the next year they are not so good. I have the same experience.

That's right Chris.
In my garden, I find that plants 'take a break' .
Maybe, like us, they need a rest now and then! :o)

Thanks Janette, Chris and TT...yes the ebb and flow teaches us patience...I had a bed of flax four years ago that looked like a piece of blue sky come down to earth.... it rippled in the breeze and the lovely little blue petals drifted around things..it went to seed generously and I had sheafs of it to make wreaths and to add to dried arrangements...with a little spray glitter or paint they are quite pretty and festive. But this year they were late and I'm not sure I'll be lucky enough to get seed...oh well.

Beautiful quiet photo, Lori, you can almost hear the rain drops.
