Description
The indian blanket flower, Gaillardia pulchella, is shown here with its brilliant orange and yellow colors showcased against the soft emerald greens of the background foliage. The fully open flower is accompanied by a small new bud just beginning to open. This hardy perennial, in the sunflower family, is native to Mexico and the southern and central United States (it's the state wildflower of Oklahoma). It's a lover of the sun and is a favorite of the honeybees and butterflies.
