Thanks Gurcharan ji and Tabish ji I had forgotten to see again about this beautiful plant. Gurcharan ji,s Id appears more likely to me. Tabish ji's views might also be true as *Linum* *usitatissimum *is cultivated in India. I am wondering how this plant is present in otherwise barren Spiti valley area. The area where I took the picture was also nowhere near human habitat too. Satish
