These aren’t really wildflowers. Rudbeckia hirta is not native to “Wyoming”, and while a species of Gaillardia is (that’s the red), I’m not sure this is the native Gaillardia aristata. Also I see horticultural Centaurea sp. (likely invasive Centaurea cyanus) among the mess. It’s likely whoever planted these had scattered a packet of “wildflower mix”, and most “wildflower mixes” contain no native wildflowers, but plenty of non-natives (known to be invasive or not).
