Blanket Flower Whimsy - Original photographic artwork by Heidi Smith.
Gaillardia /ɡeɪˈlɑrdiə/, the blanket flowers, is a genus of drought-tolerant annual and perennial plants from the sunflower family (Asteraceae), native to North and South America. It was named after M. Gaillard de Charentonneau, an 18th-century French magistrate who was a patron of botany. The common name refers to the inflorescence's resemblance to brightly patterned blankets made by native Americans

A shallow DOF was used to capture just a hint of the flowers in the background while focusing on the one flower in the foreground.
