| I have been looking for the flax seed that you can grow and use for cooking. I don't think this is it, but someone sent me an envelope of seeds and this was in it flax perennial blue Linum Lewisii.
I am thinking this is a decorative flower and not the flax seed I am looking to grow, am I correct? Thank you,

| Hi Cristi, You are correct. The flax for eating is Linum usitatissimum. Linum usitatissimum does grow wild though in your area(see the link below,) so hopefully you can aquire the seeds from someone. Remy |
