Van Randall on Sep 03, 2013I go with Blanket Flower or Gallardia. Interesting all the different names plants are given. To me, Shasta Daisies have white petals with yellow centers and Painted Daisies a variety of pastel colors and I've heard of Indian Paintbrush but not Indian Blanket.Helpful Reply

TJ on Sep 03, 2013a good example of why I prefer to learn the botanical name of a plant. They can have so many common names and some plants with the same common name end up having no relationship. I'm in the Gaillardia group. As others have said, it loves sun and survives on little water. Mine have even disappeared for a year or so then popped back up again.Helpful Reply

Elaine753 on Nov 25, 2015Gaillardia /ɡeɪˈlɑrdiə/,[3] the blanket flowers,[4] is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae, native to North and South America. It was named after an M. Gaillard de Charentonneau,[5][6] an 18th-century French magistrate who was a patron of botany. The common name may refer to the resemblance of the inflorescence to the brightly patterned blankets made by Native Americans, or to the ability of wild taxa to blanket the ground with colonies.[7]Helpful Reply
