Mediterannean flower ID

Post by ElieEstephane »

Hello everyone
I have these flowers that grow in cracks of my stone walls at an altitude of 1500m. The flowers last all the growing season and the plants die back in winter. The stem is hollow and the seeds are similar to dandelions.
Anyone knows its name?
