I don’t know what part of the country you’re in, ot whether the flower is wild or cultivated, but it appears to be the same species as the Texas wildflower called a firewheel or Indian blanket or blanketflower:

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Your photos are truly beautiful. I’m a bit jealous. I take and edit all my pictures on my iPhone! I hope you’ll visit again.

  iphone-photos are actually quite good…its all
  about the eye of the photographer
  rather than the equipment (i think)!

    i see. It’s a good one.. Have you ever tried 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.2 ?

    i have “borrowed” them…
    they are EXCELLENT lenses!!
    too expensive for me to own either…
    have you tried them?!

    noo 😦
    I’m saving money to buy 50mm f/1.8
    I think it’s enough for me
    Any recommendation about f/1.8?

    well..
    -you will have to get used to framing your shots with
    your feet…unlike zoom lenses!
    -its sharpest 2-3 stops down from f/1.8
    -some older models had focusing issues but
    canon has since fixed that (i hope!)
    -it has its limitations just like most lenses but the good
    far outweigh the bad…you will love it!!
