Echinacea Coneflower Bud

An Echinacea coneflower bud sits centered in the frame with its central disk still green and studded with developing florets. The photograph shows glossy green bracts and a dark green center with small yellowish tips, lit by soft natural light against a blurred green background. Fine hairs rim the bracts and a ring of tiny orange-tinted pollen points is visible around the disk.
