Gigastic disappointment

I bought some Angelica Gigas seeds 2 years ago. Finally managed to get them to sizeable plants, which I was excited to think would flower this year. I noticed today they look remarkably similar to my Echinops Ritro. Please someone put me out of my misery, this is an Echinops isn't it? It's not that I don't love them, but I wanted Angelica Gigas. Gutted that I now have to start from seed again.

Picture?
Hi KeenOnGreen. We need to have a picture of your plant so we can help in identification.
Oops, here it is
It doesn't look like my angelica. It does look more like a thistle.
I think you're right with the echinops Keen
In the sticks near Peterborough
It could be worse as I do love Echinops. I at least still have some Angelica seeds left. Only another 2 years till I see any flowers. Ho hum...
Yes sorry keen definitely echinops.
