Mexican Sunflower

Tithonia rotundifolia

Here is just one member of the vast composite family, featured in this year's Annual Border. What appear to be single flowers are in fact a composite, or cluster, of smaller flowers. The "petals" are single flowers called ray flowers. The center is composed of tiny disk flowers. Members of this family can have either ray or disk flowers—or both.
