Is this the plant I saw growing wild in Crete? (Nick?).  If so, we have it
along the
road sides in Northern New South Wales, Australia near where I live.  The
plant we have is certainly wonderful for flower arrangements.  I recently
did the flowers for my son's wedding and had this delicate flower in my
wildflower arrangements - great basketfuls of it's white combined with
yellow everlasting daisies and some bright blue salvia.  This plant has
wonderful seed heads with whispy twirling bits.  In fact I think I like the
seed heads even better than the flowers.  I'm sure I could get you some
seeds at the end of next summer - a while to wait though, and I'd need to
be reminded!  Where do you live Patricia?  Then again this might not be the
plant you are thinking of.
