Day 15: Today’s 30 Days Wild by the Wildlife Trusts’ is all about ID’ing and learning about a plant/flower.
Last week I went along with David as he had an appointment. On our walk to the venue I noticed these small pale blue flowers at the side of the pavement. Not knowing what they were I took a picture and used an app to ID them. I used Plantsnap and PlantNet and both came up with the same suggestion, that of flax or linseed.
Flax
I found it a rather bizzare find. Flax is used to make linen, one of the oldest fabrics in human history, and it’s oils make linseed used for it’s beneficial health properties. I was not expecting to find this kind of plant growing along the roads in suburban Liverpool.
Have you found an unusual plant growing where you didn’t expect it?
Thanks for reading, and stay wild!

Oh how lovely, not sure what they were doing there, but so nice to see. A few years ago someone I follow in Instagram , I can’t remember who, shared a photo of a whole field of flax, it was stunning.x

It was a very strange find. I didn’t know what the flower was so I took a picture and later ID’d it. Amazing what grows in the cracks of pavements. 🙂 x
