Sorry to answer you so late, but I thought I had sent this message to the
list, and I noticed it was not when I came back home from holydays. the
reason is that I changed the version in my computer and it resulted in a big
mess. Perhaps, somebody else answered but anyway I did'nt read anything
about this topic on the list.
"I suppose is papaver spicatum if you made a mistake in the height (I'm not
very good in inches and feet)
