This perennial sunflower (I have not yet identified the species) grows in my yard, and one of its blossoms attracted my attention, because it appears that the blooms are connected at the receptacle. On close examination, they do not have separate (noticeable) peduncles, but their receptacles appear to be fused together back-to-back. Is this an example of fasciation, or some other structural anomaly?

Just to add, North Carolina western Piedmont, United States is the region in which this was found.
