Not sure how many it will make, but there is few pods coming. It is not very big plant yet. I have to cover it well for winter, it is pretty tender... I have got lots of the common flax seeds anyway :D Linum usitasissimum. Usitasissimum means 'very useful'. Heh, funny name. http://www.yrttitarha.com/kanta/pellava/

Wonderful picture. It shows what seem to be styles exserted above the stamen and anthers. Have you noticed that sometimes the anthers exceed the styles? Most puzzling to this amateur.
