Blossoms of canola (Brassica napus)

Many Ontario fields were golden a week ago (a few still are) covered in canola plants.

    We have many similar fields here in the valley. All grown for seed. It is neat to watch how the seed is harvested. MB

    it's so pretty.
    is this what they use to make canola oil?
    i've never thought about this before.

    love the barn/field scene.
    perfectly perfect.
