. . . when I am out searching, I never have a set idea of what it is I’m looking for. I simply seek, occasionally finding what it was I wasn’t seeking. ~ Jeff T. Alu
Gaillardia, or Blanket Flower, is a perennial that has brightly colored, daisy-like flowers.
They are typically found in a bright red and yellow combination. Easily grown, different varieties of blanket flower can be grown almost anywhere in the contiguous United States.
Sometimes I am careful in choosing which flowers I photograph. I will look for flowers that do not have large blemishes or insect damage, and I will try to photograph so that the flowers that are past prime are not in the photograph. But I decided to include flowers in all stages — from bud to seedhead — in this photograph of a mounded blanket flower. I am most fond of the composition, though I also like seeing the different stages of the flower.
Another day of wabi-sabi appreciation.
I like the pov and the gorgeous colors.
I like seeing the various stages in one photo too! It’s a very attractive image.
The colors strike me most Bo
