<p>Yellow cosmos flower is not a single flower. Group of flowers look like a single flower. Such inflorescence named as  Head or Capitulum. <br/>            Outer flowers are ray florets and flowers in the centre are disc florets. I separated disc floret bifid stigma and observed under foldscope. This flower is pollinated. You can see pollen grains on bifid stigma. </p><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/NaN%2FIMG_8054.mp4?alt=media&amp;token=a88ce32b-55ac-4483-b0d4-20dbf0927c64"></iframe><p><br/>Pollen grains on bifid stigma of disc floret <br/></p>
