It's a coneflower, Echinacea, in the daisy family (Asteraceae). These either aren't different flowers or they are. To explain, the whole purple thing is "a" flower to most people but it actually consists of lots of individual flowers (florets) massed together. So the yellow things are the individual anthers from some of the constituent flowers

The odd thing is, that I’ve had this plant for circa ten years and find it hard to believe, that I hadn’t noted them before?😮

Such is the joy and delight of the natural world.
