need help to ID this furry weird looking things

I bought Bärlaugh seed from BauHaus in germany thinking joyfully i finally got the seed after a long search.

when the seedlings grow up, they are monsters... can someone tell me what these furry weird looking things ? i am quite sure it is not Bärlaugh which i was looking for.

Thanks
Andrew

I am not sure what Barlaugh is. Could it be Bear's Breeches (acanthus species)? It looks like it to me.
Check here for info.

Barlauch is wild garlic...not sure if that is what you have or not...the leaves don't look right, but it definitely isn't Bear's Breeches...I have 2 of them and they don't look anything like the photo. Possibly comfrey???

that's what i said, it is not Bärlaugh )wild garlic... which is suppose to be the seed that i bought from Bauhaus..

it does not appear to be comfrey, it is a monster i told you. it is kind of spiky all over the leave.. but if you touch it, it does not sting you. its leaves is rather crunchy.. if you fold it, it will just "click" and break at the fold section.
i think it is quite similar to milk thistle.. or of the same family. but it is not thorny.. just hard fur like things.

weird.. anybody have more suggestion ?

it looks like some kind of daisy.


Every plant started out as a seed ,and then came the waiting game.
