Nature study. 562 Handbook of Nature-Study THE YELLOW DAISY, OR BLACK-EYED SUSAN Teacher's Story These beautiful, showy flowers have rich contrasts in their color scheme. The ten to twenty-ray flowers wave rich, orange banners around the cone of purple-brown disk-flow- ers. The banners are notched and bent down- ward at their tips; each banner-flower has a pis- til, and develops a seed. The disk-flowers are arranged in a conical, button-like center; the corollas are pink-purple at the base of the tube, but their five recurved, pointed lobes are pur- ple-brown. The anther- tube is purple-brown and the stigmas show the same color; but the pollen is brilliant orange, and adds much to the beauty of the rich, dark florets when it is pushed from the anther-tubes. There is no pappus developed, and the seeds are car- ried as are the seeds of the white daisy, by be- ing harvested with the seeds of grain. The stem is strong and erect; the bracts of the involucre, or "shingles", are long, narrow and hairy, the lower ones being longer and wider than those above; they all spread out flat, or recurve below the open flower-head. In blossoming, first the ray-flowers spread wide their banners; then the flowerets around the base of the cone open and push out their yellow pollen through the brown tubes; then day by day the blossoming circle climbs toward the apexâa beau- tiful way of blossoming upward.
