16.Blanket Flower

Blanket Flowers, also known as Gaillardia, are stunning flowers native to North and South America and belong to the Aster family. They feature deep, dark green foliage that provides the ideal backdrop for the blossoms, which are so bright that some believe the common name, blanket flower, refers to the colorful blankets worn by southwestern Indigenous groups.

These perennials are another drought and heat tolerant alternative, with flowers that survive a long time considering their bright color. When you watch them bloom, you'll undoubtedly grin!
