flower heads
Blossoming tops collected
A flower head is a dense cluster of small flowers grouped together on a single stem, appearing as one bloom.
Botanically called a capitulum, this structure is characteristic of the daisy family, where what looks like a single flower—a sunflower, dandelion, or chrysanthemum—is actually dozens or hundreds of tiny florets packed together.
The flower heads of coneflowers attract butterflies all summer long.
