Gaillardia Blanket Flower "Goblin"

Genus: Gaillardia.

Species: Gaillardia aristata.

Bought this perennial for $1.00 from Faber's in their fall clearance in 2004. It lasted for 2 years (short-lived) but self-seeded so that now I have many plants in several different flowerbeds. Bees and butterflies love the colorful flowers and so do I. It's my favorite flower color combination, yellow and red.
