   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.
