The Gaillardia Glyptostroboides is a very scarce, tall plant and can be found in dark and wet places. It blooms in early winter. It has thick, lobed leaves, which are usually dark yellow. It also grows quite small flowers, which can be light grey, dark purple, dark red and pink. These plants grow in small numbers, but it's fairly easy to control and maintain their growth. They can be cooked and eaten. As a defense mechanism the Gaillardia Glyptostroboides can collapse its flowers when it detects vibrations. They rely on cloning themselves by growing a new specimen to reproduce.
