Diffusing light and misty fog rise through the valley like a blanket quietly covering the landscape. The forest will change from green to black and eventually the sky colors will give way to moon and stars.
These flowering plants are in the sunflower family, Asteraceae, native to North and South America. The blooms are 4-6" wide and 1-2 ft tall. Their common name may refer to the resemblance of the inflorescence to the brightly patterned blankets made by Native Americans.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments!
Gaillardia pulchella — Blooms April to June across much of Texas. When viewed en masse, the brilliant combination of red, orange, and yellow resembles brightly woven blanket, hence the name. Also called firewheel. Saw this growing in the Houston Arboretum.
Gaillardia soon to bloom seen at nearby nursery - where I
always bring my camera!

Blanket flowers are long lived and vibrant flowers. This year these plants have been exploding with new growth. Once I started looking at the various photographs I've taken during their stages of development, I decided that this little blossom was still quite a baby flower. Perhaps that is why gardening shops are called nurseries.
This visit to Omori on the western shore of lake Taupo was for sunrise but there wasn't much evidence of it. The heavy cloud created a mood of its own.
On a blanket made of woven shadows
Flew up to heaven
On a raven's glide
These angels have turned my wings to wax now
I fell like Judas grace denied
On that day that he lied to me
Like Martin Luther
Like Pericles
Come join the murder
Come fly with black

Blanket Flowers are part of the Sunflower family. This bright blossom had just opened up to the world at large. Without the macro lens, I could see what appeared to be spots of color in the center of the green hue. What a treat to magnify the flower and see what small bugs see.
Looking down at Garmisch on a foggy evening. It was eerie up there, thank goodness my "photo buddy" was with me

View of the Scodie Mountains from Randsburg, California. Distance about 32 miles.
A day trip to see this was worth every minute driving from Anaheim. The snow was on every mountain over 2500 feet.
I wasn't sure we would even get many wild flowers on the Grand Mesa this year with the late late late thaw we had up there. (10,000 plus feet) But, we ended up with a beautiful flower show. Now, almost over but still blazes of glory adorn the hillsides and plateaus.
