Zinnia flower head.
Zinnia flower head. Zinnias have composite flower heads; each "flower" is actually hundreds of tiny flowers. The yellow ring at the top of this photo consists of the stigmas of the central disk flowers; the flowers just below that are presenting smaller yellow anthers. At the bottom is a ring of ray flowers, each of which looks like a petal. Focus-stacked image, compiled from several photographs for greater depth of field
