The Firewheel (Gaillardia pulchella), also known as Indian blanket, is a short-lived annual wildflower native to the central United States. It's vibrant colored flowers can be seen carpeting fields and the sides of highways for miles in the summer to late fall. Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms. ...

Classes Magnoliopsida - Dicots Liliopsida - Monocots The flowering plants (also angiosperms or Magnoliophyta) are one of the major groups of modern plants, comprising those that produce seeds in specialized reproductive organs called flowers, where the ovulary or carpel is enclosed. ...

Five wildflower species A wildflower is a flower that grows wild, meaning it was not intentionally seeded or planted. ...
The branching stem of this plant is hairy and upright. Leaves are wide and alternate, mostly basal, with edges smooth to coarsely-toothed or lobed. The pinwheel, daisy-like flowers are vividly colored with red, orange and yellow. The center of the flower tends to be more red-violet, with the outer tips being yellow. In one variety, almost the entire flower is red, with only the barest tips of the pedals touched with yellow. It blooms practically year-round in some areas, but more typically in summer to early fall. Seed is an achene. In botany, a leaf is an above-ground plant organ specialized for photosynthesis. ...

An achene is a type of simple dry fruit produced by many species of flowering plants. ...
Plants grow up to 2 ft. It is a hardy plant, not picky about soil, though sandy and well-drained are best. It has a high drought tolerance and does best with a dry, hot climate in full sun.
This flower is also commonly known as Sundance, and, like most other flowers of the genus Gaillardia, it is often called a Blanketflower. It is the state wildflower of Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a South Central state of the United States (with strong Southern, Western, and Midwestern influences) and its U.S. postal abbreviation is OK; others abbreviate the states name Okla. ...
