Please watch out for these flowers, as they are in and around the meadow.

The fiddlenecks are the genus Amsinckia of flowering plants in the borage or forget-me-not family Boraginaceae. They get their name from their flower stems, which bear a large number of small flowers, and curl over at the top in a way that somewhat suggests the head of a violin.
The fiddlenecks are native to western North America and south-western South America, but they have spread widely to other regions. They are annual plants, many of them bristly. Most have an erect stem, whose height varies from 20 to 120 cm. In most species the flowers are yellow, often with an orange tinge. Most are found at relatively low altitudes, below 500 metres.

The seeds and foliage of fiddlenecks are poisonous to livestock, particularly cattle, because they contain alkaloids and high concentrations of nitrates.

 

The sharp hairs of the plants can cause skin irritation in humans. 

 

However, the shoots, seeds or leaves of several species were used as food by Native Americans, and the plant also had some medicinal uses.
 

The species are hard to distinguish, and their ranges overlap; furthermore several of them have large numbers of slightly different varieties, and several of the species hybridise naturally. To decide which species a particular specimen belongs to, therefore, is likely to require a detailed examination with an identification key in hand.
