FlowerFriday

Not all strictly flowers but my Scabious is, and is looking Beautiful.
When we went on holiday 31st March I planted 2 seeds. One is our BabyGem lettuce which seems to have been slow, but it has been windy although sunny the heat has been low. The other one was an experiment really, it was planted on the same day and is now just about one metre above the ground. It’s a biblical plant, it would be good not to google it, what is it?
