Description
Blanket Flower by D Hackett
Gaillardia or blanket-flower, is native in all of Florida, much of the southeast and south central states. It is a common dune and coastal scrub plant. It can be found growing at roadsides, in drainage ditch slopes and in open fields. A ray floret consists of three petals that are fused together giving a fringed appearance to the flower. Some flowers have tubular ray florets. Ray petals are most often reddish purple or orange-red with yellow tips, but can also be solid orange, yellow, pink and rarely white. The center disk florets are reddish-purple, orange-red or yellow. Difference in colors and variations in petal shapes are a result of natural hybridization.
