Indian Blanket Flower 8-30-23

Our Indian  Blanket Flowers (Gaillardia pulchella) have been blooming all summer. This image shows all the stages of development and maturity. They return each year.

They are also called Firewheel, Rosering, and Sundance.

Dear visitor,

 

How is it that you come to sound,

and wrap your lips around Sisyphus, or

sassafras sprouting wild beneath the door?

 

Water speaks commonly, yet,

we are seldom understood.
