@Trish, I got seeds of Gaillardia Red Plume in trade--I'd never heard of it before this season. If you haven't, you might want to search a picture. It's different than any Gaillardia I've ever seen. Hope to get pics this year!

Sure looks beautiful!

Yes, I got mine from Duane, as a matter of fact. Thanks, @duane456!

Oh, that is stunning! I look forward to seeing pics in your garden!!

This podcast was a fun 'ramble' guys! Thanks. Wanted to mention I have a new Gaillardia started from seed that's not in the database, Punch Bowl Hybrid. Will put in when it blooms, the seedlings are about an inch high right now.

The seed packet came as a 'freebie' from Burpee with an order, and the packet description says it is a color combo rather unusual in Gaillardias - "lavender pink with creamy white edges". The picture on their site shows more of what I'd call rosy red and pale yellow, but still softer shades than the bright red/yellow most of them are.

That's fun, Elaine! I can't wait to see how they turn out for you!!

@dyzzypyxxy, I created an entry for the database, you can add it to your inventory and then share photos when they bloom!

Gaillardia 'Punch Bowl'

Wonderful, thanks Sue.

I too absolutely LOVE Gallardias! They are so easy and self seed. I did some winter sowing and haven't had to plant since.
