I'm always on my way out the door..

Could this be considered a good example of disc flowers?

It's this plant:

Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia 'Yellow Torch')

Are the long outer and brightly colored parts (the ones that fall off first) considered both ray flowers and tepals, or is it different for each type of plant?
