Cambridgeshire, UK. 11th June, 2014. A field of linseed bursts into flower on farmland near Hamerton, Cambridgeshire UK. Temperatures in the mid 20 degrees centigrade and frequent showers have helped rapid growth of the plants. The crop also known as Flax has a striking blue flower. Flax is grown for use as an edible oil, as a nutritional supplement, and as an ingredient in many wood finishing products. Flax is also grown as an ornamental plant in gardens. Flax fibers can be used to make linen. Credit: Julian Eales/Alamy Live News
