When the bud opens up, this is all there is, this is the capitulum. No petals yet.
After a few weeks, the hairy green bristles transform into petals
Quoting Wikipedia.org: Gerbera species bear a large capitulum with striking, 2-lipped ray florets in yellow, orange, white, pink or red colors. The capitulum, which has the appearance of a single flower, is actually composed of hundreds of individual flowers. The morphology of the flowers varies depending on their position in the capitulum.
Wow!!!
