One plant can have 300 or more small spherical or egg-shaped flower heads, generally no more than 12 mm (half an inch) in diameter. Each head can have 400 or more minuscule disc flowers 1.2–2.4 mm (0.047–0.094 in) across, each yellow or yellow-green toward the bottom but brown or red toward the tip. There are also 7-13 red or yellow ray flowers. [3]
Gaillardia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to North and South America. It was named after Maître Gaillard de Charentonneau, an 18th-century French magistrate who was an enthusiastic botanist. The common name may refer to the resemblance of the inflorescence to the brightly patterned blankets made by Native Americans, or to the ability of wild taxa to blanket the ground with colonies. Many cultivars have been bred for ornamental use.
