Lewis' Flax-Linum lewisii
A pretty flower with paper-thin petals in shades of blue is Lewis' Flax (Linum lewisii), also called blue flax. It's a member of the Flax Family (Linaceae). Lewis' flax is easy to grow and is often seen next to highways where highway departments have put it in the seed mix. It's also a pretty plant to include in a native garden. It's native to most of western North America.
