Suppose to be Eryngium but..

Tokyo, Japan Jp

I have bought dozen of seeds packets in UK last Spring.Most of them are from the lake district, Cotswolds and Kew Garde. This was, I believe, is Eryngium Miss Willmot's Ghost, but I have found a little white flower this morning! Well this does not look like Eryngium at all.
I can not think of anything else.
Could anyone give me an answer of hing pleaase?

Hi Seaburngirl, thank you very much, all the seeds from Kiftsgate are packed by Scientific name and I need to look up dictionary or google to find out what they are!
