Black-eyed Susan seed head

A Black-eyed Susan seed head sits on the left side of the frame above two drooping yellow petals. The cone reads as a pinkish-brown, textured dome with a ring of dark dried florets, set against a smooth green background in soft, even light and a very shallow depth of field. The repeating, almost hexagonal pattern of the seed sockets is visible, with a tiny curled remnant floret at the base.
