Happy Monday and happy new week! Starting off the week with a nice bright flower that I am growing this year. This is a variety of Blanket Flower or Giardia. The usual ones are orange in color. This is another I will be interested to see if it comes back next year.
It's Friday, TGIF! I am trying to grow Blanket Flower once again in a different location. If it does not work again, I am giving up. I can never get them to come back the next year even though they are a perennial. Anyway, I find them quite lovely and photogenic. This image had some lovely bokeh in it so sharing for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!
It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's flower is one of my favorites but I can never seem to get it to come back the next year in my gardens. It's weird as I find it growing wild so it has to be returning and not freshly planted. This is Indian Blanket Flower which usually blooms May through September. It is also known as Gaillardia. The Kiowa Indians believed it brought good luck and it is the state wildflower of Oklahoma. It gets it's name from the fact that it usually grows in large groups and looks like a blanket of color.
