Gaillardia, commonly known as Blanket Flowers, are drought-tolerant perennials in the sunflower family. The common name refers to the flower’s resemblance to the bright colors and patterns in blankets made by Native Americans.

I have lots of lilies in bloom right now. I like them all, but I think the creamy yellow Stella D’Oro daylily is my favorite. Click on any of the photos to view larger versions.
