Gaillardia pulchella - Blanket flower

Gaillardia pulchella - Blanket flower is part of the Asteraceae family. Blooming from April to October, the field guide states that it is found between 4500 to 6200, but it is growing here at 8,000 feet in elevation on Mount Lemmon, AZ. It was introduced in the Catalinas, but not sure it is considered native. I have seen blanket flowers here on the mountain for several years now. They provide such vivid color to the area, especially after the rains. I have seen them along roadsides, but not on the trails. When I see these blossoms, they remind me of hope and the warm love from the sun. I appreciate the flowers of the mountain. Again, take a picture, not a flower. You are a part of Nature, not an outsider. We need to respect life up here for the plants and animals that rely on the land. We are the caregivers.

    I am not the first, nor the last of expressing and sharing the beauty of mathematics in Nature. What I will share in this blog are thoughts, experiences, and lessons learned to validate life, both human and botanical, living mathematically.  

    They are purposely written to entice the thoughts of all ages and learners. If you have ever been turned away from Mathematics, maybe this is a way to bring you back?  

    Why? This is to share context and relevance in Nature and to share the importance of the Universe we live in, together; to validate, respect, and care for.    

    There will also be events and class updates posted here from time to time.  

    Many Blessings!
    Christina Grossman
