Hi Pistil,

The link to Rudbeckia 'Green Wizard' was most interesting. That aroused my interest in Dave's Garden's Plant Files. This is a Gaillardia that is similar to the Razzle Dazzle Gaillardia.

This is a picture of a "Razzledazzle" (sic) Gaillardia in the DG Plant Files

Actually, I was somewhat disappointed in the DG Plant Files in this area. The Razzle Dazzle strain of Gaillardias has a rather complete range of colors in that flower form. Very few are represented in the Plant Files. Many of my Razzle Dazzle zinnias bear a strong resemblance to the Razzle Dazzle strain of of Gaillardias. My Razzle Dazzle zinnias are rightfully not in the Plant Files, because they are not commercially available. Maybe some day.
