First collected in 1767 by Commerson and native to the S tip of the Americas. Tough, reliable and hardy shrub - many of the newer cultivars aren't. Food plant for Bees, Moths and Hummingbirds.

Linum usitatissimum - Flax
🧵/1
An all-time super-useful plant. You can eat it (Flax seeds), waterproof with it (Linseed Oil), dress in it (Linen) and make a resilient floor covering from it (Linoleum).
My lino floors have survived children and dogs for 25 years.🙂
