These plants were so pretty that I just had to take a photo. A mess of Oregon native blanketflowers (Gaillardia aristata) and a couple of nice flower stalks of an agastache cultivar (A. rupestris, I think).

Native metallic sweat bee (Agapostemon sp.) pollening on native blanketflower (Gaillardia aristata) in my front garden in Portland, Oregon.

(Gaillardia pulchella) like to grow along roadsides. Always make sure your car is between the flower, you, and the highway, not only for safety reasons, but to cut down on the wind gusts made by passing cars. Due to state/county seeding efforts to curb erosion this could also be Gaillardia aristata.
