Recognize the material

Echinacea purpurea has a raised spiny cone and rays that may droop around it. The leaves are relatively broad.

Botanical reference: Echinacea purpurea — NC State Extension

Make a deliberate design choice

Look at the center in profile before combining it with a rounded double flower. Keep the cone visible if it is the reason for the choice. Similar pink rays alone are not sufficient identification.
