Bi-Colored Flaxflower: The 51st Flower of Spring!

Bi-Colored Flaxflower: The 51st Flower of Spring!
One of my very favorite flowers, this perfect little star pops up in blankets of white and pink all over our meadows from about May to July! I adore their bright and shiny, perfect little faces and make a point to stop and get nose-close to appreciate them whenever I see them! I'll be posting another picture of this beauty in perfect pink, and I think you'll agree, it's hard to decide which color is prettier!

Darling and tiny, this flower measures 1/3" in diameter and is native to the Pacific Northwest, from Baja, California to British Columbia. It grows in low-to mid elevation and does fine in dry environments.
