Debbie--Stephenville is a little over an hour southwest of Fort Worth. So that would put me about five plus hours northwest of you.

Josephine--That Gaillardia is pretty neat isn't it? I picked the seeds up this past winter at Wmart for 97 cents and got them started in late Feb. The seed package simply calls the plant a Gaillardia bicolor. I started some burgundy Gaillardia too, but they are proving to be a little slower to bloom. Anyway, I ran back outside and took another pic for you to get an idea of the size of the G. bicolor bloom.

konkreteblond--I'd be happy to send you seeds of the Gaillardia. Since I got them at Wmart though, the next time I visit (which will be any day now) I will check what's left of their seed display and see if there are any packages of them left that I can pick up for you. Edited to add--yes, your ladybug is lovely!
