Recognize the material

Echinacea pallida has long narrow rays that droop strongly around a raised cone, unlike the broader ray display commonly associated with Echinacea purpurea.

Botanical reference: Echinacea pallida — NC State Extension

Make a deliberate design choice

Check the lowest point of the rays against the rim and surrounding heads. Crowding them against a broad flower can hide the distinguishing outline. Examine the real stem from both front and side.
