Are these scabiosa plants or not?

My first year sowing from seeds and I have 1 tray unlabelled - they are growing at a fantastic rate but I have no idea what they are!! Can you help... I think they might be scabiosa, the first true leaves are dark green, oval and appear to have spikes on them (bumpy at the very least). not much info I know but I have nothing to lose. Thanks in advance

They look like the teasel seedlings I have, are their small spines on the leaves?

definitely not scabious but very like teasel as madmum suggests.

Thanks to all for such quick replies... Teasel! I have planted Teasel, but I thought they were in a rather smaller round pot - that have the label "Teasel" on them!! Yes, they have spines on the leaves so I tend to believe you... Lessons to learn, I have obviously not been very diligent with my labelling. Thank you all... What am I going to do with all these Teasel - must consult the packet again!
