The flowers belong to the family Compositae.
Observe the arrangament of the florets(the yellow ones instead of the white one) in the photo. You can see a head of florets attached to a flat disc. This inflorescence is called head or capitulum.

Observe the shape of the corolla. You can observe that the coralla extend vertically, forming a tube structure. This shape is called "tubular"
