Gaillardia pulchella is a North American species of short-lived perennial or annual flowering plant in the sunflower family, Asteraceae. It is often known as the Indian blanketflower, perhaps because of the resemblance of the inflorescence to the brightly patterned blankets made by Native Americans. It is a drought-tolerant plant native to northern Mexico and the southern United States, often carpeting fields and the sides of highways for miles in the summer and fall. These G. pulchella blooms were photographed in Aspen, Colorado.
