I believe that is blanket flower. I am not sure what variety.

Looks like a gaillardia species or blanket flower. Many of this species and different cultivars look similar and I'm no expert. Try looking it up in the plant files.

You have 2 varieties in the pic. The one in the foreground looks like an Arizona Sun. The one to the left of it with trumpet like leaves is a Fanfare. The Fanfare is much more of a profuse bloomer (I have one) and usually costs twice as much to buy. It is, in my opinion, the showiest Galliardia. Odd to see blooms this early, but then I am further north.

They start blooming earlier in warmer zones--mine have been blooming for months.

Gaillardia is a North American genus, as it happens. Mine just started blooming this week.

OOPS! Got my left and right mixed up. The one to the "right" in the enlarged pic is the Fanfare. I guess it is named that because the leaves come out like little trumpets all the way around the center. Oh well, enjoy yours, mine hasn't started yet-still waiting.
