Narrow leaf sunflower and sandhill gaillardia

Narrowleaf sunflower is a great fall wildflower for southeastern meadows.

Sandhill gaillardia is a variation of lanceleaf blanketflower that occurs in sandhill ecosystems throughout the southeast. There are a couple other color variations of lanceleaf blanketflower, but sandhill gaillardia is the one we typically see here in Florida. Now that the more common blanketflower is considered an introduced species in Florida, sandhill gaillardia is the only truly Florida native blanketflower!
