LINUM The flax family numbers several varieties that bear 

 such brilliant flowers that they deserve a place in the flower 

 garden. While the life of the individual flowers is short, 

 the continued succession prolongs the blooming season 

 through the summer. The plants of the genus are dainty in 

 appearance with slender foliage. Quite suitable for growing 

 in masses in beds or low borders.

 lance-like rays about a common center. Pea shaped blossoms
