Flax
Flax, also known by its Latin name “Linum usitatissimum”, is a flowering plant in the family of Flax plants. It produces blue and white flowers, has brown or yellow seeds and a long stem. The plant has been used for ages for the production of linseed oil and fibers, from which linen is made. Flax plants made for linen are longer and have more branches than the plants from which seeds are harvested to make linseed oil.
