Podolepis jaceoides or Showy Podolepis is a member of the daisy family and thus many individual flowers make up the head. The central flowers are tubular and contain reproductive parts while the flowers on the periphery are modified as petals to serve in 'advertising'. During the flowering period, one or several native bees are seen sitting on the flowering head.
