Suppose to be Eryngium but..

Tokyo, Japan

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?
