but what kind of flower is it?

the many petals and sunflower-like circles in the head imply it is in the asteraceae family, where broad flat round flowers are composed of many small botanical flowers that fuse together and specialize into showy roles

the leaves are distinctly oppositely toothed and lobed, with 7 lobes each; meanwhile they grow from the stem in an alternate manner. it appears to consist of a single central stalk without necessarily branching.
