Classic Sky Blue Flax
Wild blue flax is the variety most people picture, with almost translucent blue petals crossed by fine radiating lines. It grows across meadows and roadsides in many regions.
- 1β18 (Flower centre): Crayola Yellow β The central cluster of a blue flax flower is a warm yellow, giving the bloom a bright middle.
- 19β36 (Blue petals): Crayola Sky Blue β Blue flax petals look almost see-through blue, so a light sky blue keeps the delicate, papery look.
- 37β54 (Stem): Crayola Forest Green β Flax stems are a slim, medium green that holds the flower up on a straight line.
- 55β72 (First leaves): Crayola Green β A brighter green than the stem makes the narrow leaves easy to tell apart.
- 73β90 (Leaves and finish): Crayola Green β Keeping the same leaf green through to the end makes the whole plant look consistent.
Bright Eyes White Flax
The 'Bright Eyes' variety has pure white petals with a small, deep red centre, a real and popular garden flax planted for the contrast.
- 1β18 (Flower centre): Crayola Mahogany β This is the deep red-brown eye that gives the 'Bright Eyes' variety its name.
