 Lewis' flax  Linum lewisii var. lewisii |
 aka Prairie flax |
 An excellent fiber for papermaking from either the stems or the seeds. |
 The fallen, dried petal struck me as delightful by retaining the vibrant blue. |
 Found along Biehn Ave across from the Pelican Theaters. |
 Also found next to Highway 97 in town by the abandoned home foundation along the Link River in Klamath Falls, OR |
 This particular variety is a perennial herb and native to the area. |
 This picture shows two varieties found at the abandoned homestead. |
 Poisonous
to ruminants |
