I love seeing blue flax along the roads here in Utah in the spring and early summer.

I live in the mountain foothills nw of Helena. While walking through a neighbors native pasture, I found 1 perfectly white flax flower in a “sea” of blue flax. I went back the next day with a camera and could not find it! I would love to know how rare it would be to find a white “blue flax”?
