About the Daisy Plant and Flower. A Daisy flower is composed of white petals and a yellow center, although the flower can sometimes have a pink or rose color. Daisies are not made of just one flower. A Daisy is made up of two types of flowers-disk florets and petal-like white ray florets. The disk florets are at the center and the ray florets are at the periphery but they are arranged to give the impression of being a single flower. This arrangement on Daisies is a type of inflorescence known as a capitulum.
Diagrammatic representations of a few inflorescence types. Digital scan from MIOS Journal 3(7): 5, issue of July, 2002. As a practical point, the term inflorescence does not just refer to the specific arrangement, but the term inflorescence is used when one speaks of that portion of the plant directly and only having to do with displaying flowers. Five different types of inflorescences are illustrated below (Fig. 1). It is correct to refer to each simply as an inflorescence, but just referring to it as such, tells nothing about what type of an inflorescence it is.
