The Tales & The Botany: Linum perenne
Do not be fooled by the slender, delicate-looking stems.
The fibrous stems are extremely difficult to break and were once used in Europe to make linen and rope.
In fact, the flax plants which are commercially grown today for making linen (from the stems) and linseed oil (from the seeds) are several varieties of annual flax, Linum usitatissimum, a cousin of our Linum perenne.
