The picture on the left shows a plant that grew from a seed - the picture was taken early last year. It grew more leaves last year, but otherwise looked much the same as in the left-hand picture.
This year it's continued to grow, but looks entirely different. The right hand picture is how it looks today.
We have several others in pots that grew from seed & that have developed in just the same way.
Does anybody know what it is?

"Holy crap, Batman! Is this another scary trick from the Plant Puzzler, the mad genetic scientist who develops genetically modified plants!?!"
Well, I've never seen it before, but based on its characteristics, it seems to have something in common with the native goatsbeard and the garden vegetable salsify. I had some salsify that went to seed and it looked very much like that, shape of bud, look before flowering, color of bloom, shape of tepals, glaucus foliage, easily grown from seed.... I'd start there, particularly if the seed head resembles a goatsbeard puff.
