I was thing Gaillardia myself. I saw some at our zoo's butterfly exhibit that
were over five feet tall, with blooms at least three inches across. They get
exceptionally good care there.

Hmmm. If it weren't for the height descrepancy, I would have said it sounds
like a Gaillardia. However, consulting my Wyman's Gardening Encyclopedia,
I see that G. aristata (Common Blanket-flower) is listed has having a
height of 2-3 ft. Personally, I've never seen one that tall - all the
cultivars available around here are usually less than 1 ft. Sounds
impressive. Can you get any seeds? :)
