Gaillardia For A Special Day!

I know I have blipped Gaillardias before, but I wanted to use one for my Flower Friday entry in honor of what would have been my in-laws 74th wedding anniversary!  My mother-in-law taught me so much about wildflowers and she taught me to call this flower a  Gaillardia instead of the more colloquial name that people often use.  So, I think of her every time I see one and I think of both of them today and thank God that they were a part of my life. Thanks to Biker Bear for hosting.......
