When the flax plant, with its small bright blue flowers, waves in the summer's breeze, it looks too delicate to be anything other than a colourful and charming addition to the rural landscape. Its apparent delicacy is deceptive, however, because this remarkable plant, which is harvested 100 days after it is sown and grows to a height of about one metre, is incredibly robust and hard-working. No part of it is wasted and it provides the basic materials for many widely used but disparate products, as the list below proves.

1. After harvesting and drying, the flax plant gives up its small shiny brown seeds. If not used for next year's planting, these seeds are crushed to produce linseed oil which is in demand from artists and cabinet makers for varnishing and painting.
2. Oil from crushed flax seed is also increasingly used as a herbal supplement because it is thought to have many nutritional benefits for humans due to its high omega oils. These are believed to help in lowering cholestrol.
3. Flax plant oil is often used in special soaps designed for those with skin problems such as eczema or severe dryness.
4. Aside of its nutritional benefits to humans, whole flax seeds are also used in cattle and chicken feed.
5. The coarsest flax fibres have long been used to manufacture twine/string and rope. More recently, the biodegradable fibres are used to make basket liners and weed suppressant matting.
6. Pulped flax fibres are also used in the production of banknote paper. Check out that dollar or euro bill!
7. After spinning, flax fibres are transformed into yarn which in turn is woven into beautiful linen cloth. Today, this process is done by machines but all spinning used to be women's work. This is where the term spinster, meaning unmarried woman, originated.
8. Modern technological developments allow flax plant fibres to substitute synthetic materials to produce useful products such as loft insulation. This is much more environmentally friendly (and cost-effective) than chemically produced alternatives.
9. The woody core of flax fibres is very absorbent so has recently become a key element in the manufacture of horse bedding and animal litter.
10. In its most modern invention, flax plant fibres are being used by car manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Crysler and DaimlerBenz for non-structural car components such as door panels and boot liners.

The flax plant is one of the world's oldest known crops. Evidence of its cultivation from the Stone Age has been found in parts of Europe where it is the only natural fibre grown but its full potential is probably not yet fully exhausted. It is, without a doubt, an exceptional little plant.
