The unpollinated flowers have a yellow ring, but as soon as they've been pollinated by bees or other insects, the ring changes colour to white. At that point, the flower stops producing nectar, so the insects learn that the flowers with the white ring are no longer of use to them. The flower is effectively colour-coding itself. It's the plant's way of ensuring all of its flowers get pollinated.
