But wait, they're all right ! My first thought was zinnia followed by chrysanthemum, peony, dahlia, and ranunculus. I have to say I'm curious as to why you're wondering. I'm also curious as to why some people don't read the question that they are answering. Maybe it's just me.

in case you prefer to ascertain utilising the plant names given right here, look in "photographs" in Yahoo seek. i've got merely discovered photographs of Scilla, Ceanothus etc and responded a number of my very very own questions besides.

What the link shows is NO flower; it's a mechanical device of some sort.

Chrysanthemum
