Time to bloom?

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.
