Fiddleneck blooms (Amsinckia sp..)

A fiddleneck is a flowering plant in the genus Amsinckia. The name derives from the flower stems, bearing many small flowers, which curl over at the top in a manner reminiscent of the head of a fiddle. Fiddlenecks are in the family Boraginaceae, along with borage and forget-me-nots.

The fiddlenecks are native to western North America and south-western South America, but they have spread widely to other regions.
