Amsinckia lycopsoides
I don't really deserve this one. I mean, for many years I would pull these, because they're stickery, and invasive, but now I am capturing some seed to spread them around. They make a nice scroll as they bloom, and I assume that's the "fiddleneck" part--they look like a violin scroll. Since my nice violin has a fabulous scroll, I will post it here for comparison.
Once there's competition, these natives that are a little bit aggressive can be managed. There are several plants like this, and I confess that finding out that this one is native was a bit of a surprise--like the Claytonia parviflora, earlier. Whoa, OK, so that's native... interesting.
