The Indian Blanket flower at top is usually orange and red – my favorite flower – I was happy to find this variant.

Lovely flower portraits! I love all the foliage at this time of year with the flowers popping out all over the place. I agree the top flower is really nice..
Thanks. I’ll seek out a more traditional blanket flower for next Wednesdays post.
I like the colors of the first flower, so pretty.
Yes they are my favorite wildflower. In all their colors. This was the first purple one I’ve seen.
