Location: / Broomfield, nr.Herne Bay, Kent, England May 2009: It’s how small these trees seem to be in comparison to the clouds that appealed to me.
Even though it was raining, what else is new, I managed to capture these oilseed crops in bloom in Saskatchewan, close to Indian Head on the day I arrived home. I love the contrast in colors here. / Flax – the blue field / Flax is an erect annual plant growing to 1.2 m tall, with slender stems. The leaves are glaucous green, slender lanceolate, 20–40 mm long and 3 mm broad. The flowers are pure pale blue, 15–25 mm diameter, with five petals; they can also be bright red. The fruit is a round, dry capsule 5–9 mm diameter, containing several glossy brown seeds shaped like an apple pip, 4–7 mm long. / Flax seeds come in two basic varieties, brown and yellow or golden, with most types having similar nutritional values and equal amounts of short-chain omega-3 fatty acids. The exception is a type of yellow flax called Linola or solin, which has a completely different oil profile and is very low in omega-3. Although brown flax can be consumed as readily as yellow, and has been for thousands of years, it is better known as an ingredient in paints, fiber and cattle feed. Flax seeds produce a vegetable oil known as flaxseed or linseed oil, which s one of the oldest commercial oils and solvent-processed flax seed oil has been used for centuries as a drying oil in painting and varnishing. / Canola – the yellow field / Canola is one of two cultivars of rapeseed or Brassica campestris (Brassica napus L. and B. campestris L.) Their seeds are used to produce edible oil that is fit for human consumption because it has lower levels of erucic acid than traditional rapeseed oils and to produce livestock feed because it has reduced levels of the toxin glucosinolates. / / Canon EOS 50D
