An orange 'sunflower' look-alike is a mimic of the classic yellow sunflower; it is related, but is not of the Russia sunflower variety. They grow 6' tall on several stems and have small heads. It has small seeds that will not produce a sunflower. The centers are dark or yellow, surrounded by orange petals - in the one seen here in Union Square Park, NYC, the petals appear to have turned orange from yellow.

Have a blessed Sunday.
That is a beautiful flower. Unique with the rich orange color with small glimpses of yellow.
ReplyDeleteSoft shadows and the little bee are also a plus. Great Capture!
Gorgeous! I love these darker colors.
ReplyDeleteI never knew they were called Russian sunflower but do admire the color. Your photo really highlights the interesting texture details of the flower center.
