29 Types of Exotic Flowers
Fiddleneck (Amsinckia Lycopsoides)
Amsinckia, or fiddlenecks, are beautiful flowering plants with a unique shape. Each stem produces a series of trumpet-shaped blooms and curls over at the top, in a way that reminds many of the neck of a fiddle. Most often the flowers are yellow or slightly orange with red in the center, but a few varieties are pale violet or nearly white in color.
These American wildflowers are sometimes considered a weed, and the hairs on the plant’s leaves can cause a rash in some individuals, but the delicate flowers are beautiful. In the garden, they tend to attract birds like the Lawrence’s goldfinch and beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies.
