A Detailed Guide to the Cultivation and Growing Methods of Flowering Flax
[Family and Genus]Linaceae, genus Linum.
[Morphology]Annual herb, plant height 40-50 cm, branching from the base, upright. Stem smooth. Leaves alternate, linear to linear-lanceolate, pointed at the tip, grayish-green. Flowers solitary, diameter 2.0-4 cm, rose-red, 5 petals. Pedicels slender, forming loose cymes. Flowering period June to June. Capsule spherical, about 6-8 mm in diameter, dehiscing at the top into five valves when mature. Seeds obovate, flat, grayish-brown, 1000-seed weight 4.2 grams.
[Varieties, Forms and Cultivars]Bright rose-red flowered species (var. coccineum), bright red species (var).
[Origin and Distribution]Native to northern Africa.
[Habits]Can overwinter in the Shanghai area; prefers well-drained sandy loam containing a small amount of humus. It can also adapt to other soils, but drainage must be unobstructed.
[Propagation]Sown in open-field seedbeds in early September of autumn.
[Cultivation]After one transplanting, seedlings are planted out in the garden in early November, with a plant spacing of 30 cm. Management is simple.
[Seed Collection]The seeds do not fall off easily, so when the vast majority of capsules have turned yellow and ripe, they can be cut down in one go, dried, and threshed.
[Uses]The seeds can be pressed for oil. Because the plant has a slender and graceful form, many flowers, and a long flowering period, it is an excellent flowerbed material, and can also be used as a cut flower, as well as for greening courtyards and vacant spaces.

[Appendix: Other Flowers of the Same Genus]
1. Blue flax (L. perenne L.): Perennial herb, cultivated as an annual in the Shanghai area. Plant height 30-40 cm, smooth. Leaves alternate, linear to lanceolate, with 1-3 veins. Flower diameter 2.5 cm, light sky blue, gathered into loose cymes. Native to Europe. Cold-resistant. Sown in early September of autumn; cultivation requirements same as flowering flax. There is a white-flowered variety (var. album).
2. Yellow flax (L. flavum L.): Perennial herb, base slightly woody, plant height 40-50 cm, branches tend to droop to the side. Leaf bases have glandular dots, 3 veins. Flower diameter 2-2.5 cm, yellow, gathered into much-branched cymes. Native to Europe. Cold-resistant.
Both of the above are suitable for flowerbeds and flower borders. The seeds have high oil content, and the stem bark can be used for fiber.
Cultivation Methods of Flowering Flax (Red Flax, Flowering Flax)
Scientific name of flowering flax (red flax, flowering flax): Linum grandiflorum

Ecological Habits: Not cold-resistant, avoids extreme heat, not tolerant of waterlogging, not tolerant of fertilizer, prefers sandy soil.
Flowering Period: Flowers in spring or autumn.
Flower Language: Beautiful sorrow.
Garden Uses: Flowerbeds, flower borders, cut flowers, or potted flower cultivation.
Species Identification: Same genus species---flax (blue flax) L. perenne has slender stems, drooping tips, and blue flowers. Similar-named species---Nierembergia frutescens, Solanaceae, perennial herb often cultivated as an annual plant. Plant height 20-30 cm, blue flowers, many branches, long flowering period, extensive management. Best suited for rock gardens, flower borders, potted plants, and mass planting. A commonly cultivated species in the same genus is white-flowered Nierembergia (N. repens).

Aside from water, 60% of the human brain is DHA, more than ten times the content in animal brains. In other words, without omega-3 fatty acids, there would be no humanity.
