There is absolutely no evidence of any flower formation within the green ball. The individual elements within the green ball looks like miniature plans which branched into increasingly finer stems. Across the top the green balls measure 3” in diameter. On a smaller scale such structures can be observed in wild Dianthus barbatus. The green ball is lighter in color compared to the rest of plant.
