Shasta Daisy
Daisies are related to sunflowers, asters, coneflowers, dandelions, and chrysanthemums. The flower center is made up of hundreds of tiny disk florets which produce the seeds. They are arranged in a beautiful swirling pattern that has some complicated mathmatical formula, I'm sure. But I think I'll just enjoy them for their beauty. The disk florets are surrounded by the ray florets, what we think of as the petals.
Below you can see the individual florets. All this in a simple daisy. Isn't nature amazing?

Nature is amazing, and your photography makes it shine.
The first time I was ever a bridesmaid, we had daisy bouquets. I still remember how pretty and fresh they were.
