This is a fascaited Gaillardia Aristata or the Common Blanket Flower. Me and my boyfriend stumbled across it while taking some pictures by a lake, and we are so damn lucky. Fasciation is a mutation that occurs in every plant, and isn’t very common to see. One of the flowers has a huge mutation going on and then there is another behind the first that has a little bit going on as well. As for the rest they are normal! We will be checking on it every now and again to see its growth so expect updates
