Another Monday morning.
These flowers were taken last month in an outlying area of our Central Park that is still being developed.
I'm pretty sure these are a variety of Blanket Flowers...
Wishing us all a happy, productive, and safe week.

Thank you, sir.
In my experience blanket flowers are beautiful, and a low maintenance plant - they require little water and grow well in poor soils. They also attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

All the advantages of a plant native to the local soils and climates.
