Answers:
Indian blanket (Gaillardia pulchella) , also called firewheel, flowers across much of the state from April to June. When viewed in mass, its brilliant combinations of red, orange and yellow resemble brightly woven tapestries.
bluebonnets
It is the bluebonnet. The red ones are the Indian Paintbrushes. Indian Paintbrushes are not the state flower.
Indian Blanket
Looks like some type of Blanketflower (Gaillardia)
those are all blanketflowers, just different varieties. Have them in my garden at home. Lovely.
The two at the top look like the Indian Blanket, which is also called a firewheel. They flower across most of the state from April to June.
Those others look like the Black-eyed Susan wildflower which is a prairie species found throughout Texas. It's bright yellow flowers with chocolate center bloom from May through September.
Check out the search engine and cross reference with the picture and see if you agree...
It looks like a Gallardia to me (sometimes called blanket flower).
It is indeed referenced as a "Firewheel" (Gaillardia pulchella) which is also called the "Indian Blanket". I use an extremely helpful photographer's site which is categorized by color to identify some of my TX wildflower questions! See: http://www.texaswildflowerpictures.com/w...
Hope this helps :)
