Texas Hill County Indian Blankets

Texas Hill County Indian Blankets - We came across these wonderful bunch of indian blankets, also called firewheels wildflowers growing along this rustic mesquite fence in the texas hill country. We had a nice blue sky with some clouds along with the green leaves of the mesquite trees in the back ground. Another wonderful capture of firewheels or as they are also called indian blankets wildflowers. They got their name of indian blankets from the way they would just cover an area like a blanket with these colors of the blankets sold by the indians. We just think they are lovely with all the variety between them some are all red, orange, some or pink, and some have just the tips of their leaves with yellow. I have read that they started out as a yellow wildflower but over time the red colors took over. Their scientific name is Gaillardia pulchella and or a member of the aster family. The flower heads are about 1 to 2 inches across and they grow up to 3 feet tall with the flowers being mostly red in the center with yellow tips on the leaves. Every year in spring time they come out after other wildflowers like bluebonnets and indian paintbrush have gone down so our texas wildflowers season continues into early summer so it alway fun to see what will pops up next.
