Like a Flower
This image has two distinct features: a crater with zoned ejecta, and a feature which is extremely bright in daytime infrared. Be sure to check out the full image (see link below) to see how much it resembles a flower.

Unlocking an Impact Crater's Clues – New craters on Mars are easiest to locate in such dust-coated terrains, where they provide opportunistic "road cuts" that allow scientists to see beneath the dust blanket.

New Crater Blues — The blue appearance is due to the intense blast of the impact moving around dust on the surface. That dust is usually light-toned and reddish in color compared to what’s beneath it. When you remove the dust, you’re left with a dark spot that can sometimes be blue in comparison to the redder surroundings. These features are prominent only around young impacts, because all the old craters get covered with dust again over time.

Layered Deposits on a Crater Floor
There are some very good exposures of the bedrock here that were also evident from a Mars Orbiter Camera image, although HiRISE has much better resolution.
