The Legend of the Firewheel Flower

Firewheel, also known as blanket flowers, has a rich history in Native American lore. According to the legend, firewheel was once an all-yellow wildflower during the days of the Aztecs. When Cortez brought death and destruction, the flower turned red supposedly from the blood of the Aztecs, leading to its unique color. Additionally, the story connects the flower to a burial blanket gifted to the Great Spirit, leading to the yearly bloom of red flowers in honor of the Aztecs.
