James and I took a walk today and found a cute little clearing at the end of a bike trail.
Clivia miniata is in the family Amaryllidaceae. Commonly known as Clivia lily or Natal lily, it is native to South Africa and Swaziland. Clivia lily grows from a rhizomatous bulb and produces deep green straplike leaves low to the ground. Inflorescences emerge from the ground after about 3 years of vegetative growth. The flowers of the Clivia lily are long-lasting and can be shades of oranges and yellows. The Clivia lily is prized as an indoor plant and has received the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.

Linum lewisii is in the family Linaceae. Commonly known as western blue flax, it is native to most of North America west of the Mississippi River. Western blue flax is a perennial plant growing in open meadows and in disturbed areas such as roadsides. The seeds of this plant are edible when cooked, and while not the species from which commercial flaxseed is derived from, have similar nutritional qualities. However, raw seeds should not be eaten as they contain high levels of cyanide.
