Sunflower by Tomoko Tanaka(?)

From Tomoko Tanaka's Origami Shikishi Hundred Flowers ["shikishi" = colored paper?]

Center is made from a separate square of paper.

 I'm unclear about the authorship of this model and book. I think it's either jointly authored by Tomoko Tanaka and Makoto Yamaguchi, or else Yamaguchi was the editor. (Yamaguchi owns "Gallery Origami House," the publisher.)
