Anyone know how long this little Gaillardia pulchella, firewheel guy will take to go from where it's at, to fully bloomed?

Not sure what the preferred format is

I believe it’s more or less random depending on a host of factors like, light amount, watering, feed, stress, pests, etc. but you are in for a treat shortly regardless!

It’s snowing today for me, but I’ve got spring popping out of the soil atleast!

Well yeah, I guess I'm specifically interested in whether there is a predictable timeline once a bud reaches the state of the one pictured

Mine would bloom slower than yours at this stage because of my environmental factors, I’m sure someone may know more exactly like 3-5 days, but it’s still fairly variable, but that’s beyond my knowledge.
