I think that's Gaillardia grandiflora commonly called "blanket flower." It's a popular garden flower in the sunflower family (GDYC) and there are many varieties (AKA cultivars).

If you do not pick the artichoke in time, it grows and blossoms

Focal Length 50mm, Manual Exposure Mode, no flash and used CWA Metering. I studied this image for some time and came to the conclusion that it looked magnificent and therefore I did not do anything to it PPE with the exception of downsizing. I am finding myself doing this more and more and thereby appreciating my equipment and its abilities more than before.

Thanks for viewing.
