Talk about a gorgeous flower! Take a look at a Gaillardia, commonly called the 'blanket flower'. It is a wildflower, native to the US. I saw these flowers at Richardson Park.

According to Wikipedia: "Gaillardia is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae, native to North and South America. It was named after a M. Gaillard de Charentonneau, an 18th-century French magistrate who was a patron of botany."

More information about the background of this flower can be found at the Costa Farms website http://www.costafarms.com/plants/blanket-flower):

"Native to the American prairies, gaillardia, commonly called blanket flower, is a tough, drought-resistant, sun-loving perennial that's super easy to grow. Blanket flower's festive, solid or patterned flowers in red, orange, or yellow appear throughout the summer and will attract scores of colorful butterflies to your garden. The flowers appear on sturdy stems held high above the plant's foliage. Most varieties of blanket flower grow 18 to 22 inches tall. Hardy from zones 5-9."
