The Blanket Flowers (Gaillardia) in my garden are beginning to bloom. Their beautiful colors will continue until late fall."When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not."
Georgia O'Keeffe

I will return comments and catch up with everyone of Sunday. For more info on The Cat Management Coalition go HERE.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Blanket flowers are are lovely with their cheerful colors. I've seen a few flowering by us too, they remember me how short summer really is.
I am still waiting for my sunflowers n Blanket flowers to bloom. Stunning shot, striking n beautiful colour combo.
Beautiful flowers, I have never seen these before. Awesome quote to match too! Thanks for sharing.
Bright and colourful and very good for the bees, I should think.
Georgia certainly made people stop and look at HER flowers, that's for sure. And kudos to you for the wonderful things you are doing for those feral cats, Judy.
Judy this is so fantastic that you do this and I love your flower. God bless you and the kitties!
Hi Ms. J and thank you for introducing us to the Blanket flower...it is beautiful...Mom said she like to see more pictures of your entire garden.
We both thank you for your tireless and rewarding work with the feral kitties. We hope today goes smoothly,
Madi and Mom
love that quote. rather 'in your face!' about it, wasn't she?! ha!
Absolutely gorgeous shot!
Just beautiful!
a good thing to do working with the feral cats. the flower looks like a wonderful painting. very beautiful. i have not seen them in gardens here, but they grow wild out in the preserves.
Just a gorgeous flower, and I'm glad you reminded me of the name, I had forgotten. Keep up the good work this weekend!
I have never heard of Blanket flowers. They sure are beautiful. This is a gorgeous close-up. And Georgia O'Keeffe is my favorite artist.
Beautiful pic! LG Tina

The quote is a fantastic one, Judy, and I love the part "it's your world for the moment." And yes looking at your beautiful photo I can see the whole world.
