Spring Wildflowers - Indian Blankets

These are also called Firewheels and it is the state wildflower of Oklahoma. Below are the most common color variations seen, but they can also be found in combinations of cream, peach, coral, red and white. There is even one variety that is a pure, vivid red. They bloom mid spring, close to when the bluebonnets come to an end. This is a very easy flower to grow in a meadow as long as the seed has contact with soil. It prefers full sun to partial shade.
