Exploding orange
This is the part of the coneflower holding myriad disc florets. Collectively it is called the disk or capitulum. The disc florets are the fertile reproductive parts - pistil and stamens which will form the seeds. The few yellow parts in the image are the anthers of the flower. And you did not even know the question, did you? Well, now you've seen the naughty bits of the purple coneflower. Happy?
