I learned about Flower Friday last year from Lorilin@Bugbugbooks and have been having a blast sharing some flower pics. Please check out Lorilin’s blog if you haven’t already for book reviews and more!
Today’s picture is Blanket Flower. I have this growing in multiple spots around our house and greenhouse. It’s a perennial and so easy to grow!
This is a flowering perennial belonging to the sunflower family. It’s native to North and South America.
Scientific name: Gaillardia
Higher classification: Daisy family
Rank: Genus
For a bonus I included this rainbow photo that I took in the summer. I found it this morning and it got me thinking about warmer days.
It was a double rainbow, but the other had faded considerably by the time I got outside. I love the way the sun is creeping down and only shining on the tops of the trees.
Thanks for checking out Flower Friday. I hope none of you got snowed in last night! We didn’t get slammed as bad as I thought we were going to. Feel free to share comments and have a wonderful weekend!
So beautiful! 🙂

I feel the same! I love them all, but haven’t grown much in the way of daisies yet, just sunflowers mainly. You have a good weekend too! We will definitely chat. 😀 ❤

The flowers are so very pretty. Love the rainbow image too. We get a lot of rainbows here and we get fog bows too (or white rainbows) which are incredible.

I love Gallardia. I used to have a lot of these at one time. I should plant some in the Spring.

They are wonderful and so easy to grow. Plus, I love how easy they are to split and make into new plants. Always a plus! Thanks, Carla. ❤ Hope you are enjoying the warmth!

It is very easy to grow. We redid all our gardens and they got dug up. I am loving the warmth right now, especially because my hometown got 18 inches of snow in 24 hours, then freezing rain on top of it. Don’t miss that.
