Just found out via the Internet that these are florets, small buds that bloom to become a composite flower. I've had the succulent they're growing on for years, but don't recall ever seeing these little ones before.
Hope everyone has a Happy (and safe) Thanksgiving!

  A gorgeous floral closeup Mary. I love the colors and how the edges are in that pretty red and then the buds that look like they are ready to bust open. Beautiful color balance and detail definition dear friend.

  My Dad wasn't much of a handyman or home & garden person, (executive management level jobs...12hrs a day!), but he did have a 6' x 4' cactus garden on the back deck in the hot sun that he loved very much. He had succulents in it, too, and many little varieties of cactus. Seeing this reminds me of he and his special "dad" garden. :)

Thank you. :)

Love this one Mare and I hope you have a great day!
