In My Dreams Come Flowers

Dreams do come true in many ways.  I had been walking with, Donnetta, my neighbor, down by the Coal Creek, near the Paiute Indian Center. We noticed along the creek's bank, the delightful faces of  Daisy like flowers with a burnt orange centers and bright yellow tips. I had an immediate desire to know their names so I opened my wildflower guide. I felt it was a kind of Gaillardia. While looking it up, I  found a flower that is very adorable to me and makes me smile.  It was Mexican Hat named for the tall center and yellow brim like a sombrero. So cute ! The name of the flower we saw on the bank was  Indian Blanket , a member of the Gaillardia Family.


A few days ago, I was watering my garden and trees and stopped to take a look at some flowers emerging from behind the rabbit bush. My mouth drops open ......there...right in my garden... side by side... are the Indian Blanket and Mexican Hat growing in hard dry clay next to each other.

I could feel all this excitement well up in that magical moment. This week mother nature sent me flowers exactly as I pictured them.  What else is possible? Check in next week to see what happens next....
