Anyone know how to identify flowers? - Sn1perJohnE - 2012-12-18

Im trying to identify a flower so that I can make a painting for my friend. Two problems though, 1) I want it to be a surprise, and 2) I cant remember what the name of the flower is, but I am assuming that her facebook cover image is the flower.

So, anyone able to help out?

What country is the flower from?

Reminds me a lot of a Magnolia because the petals and, from what I can see, the leaves look very thick. However, I'm not sure.

It's definitely not a magnolia. Magnolias don't have that cluster in the middle, and they're not six-petaled on the outside either.

It actually looks like a composite of two flowers, but hey, I'm not a botanist.

//edit: Hm, looks like the white kind of magnolia does have six petals on the outside. But that doesn't explain what appears to be a chrysanthemumlike... thing... stuck in the middle of it.

Seems magnolias dont have smaller leaves around the center.

Possible type of Protea? Maybe maybe maybe, maybe not?

Too many petals, too sharp.

The centre part looks a bit like a dahlia, but I've not seen one exactly like that.

place of origin would be helpful for identification since there's kind of a bajillion species of plants with white flower petals...

Know the name?

I'm leaning towards it being a hybrid with some kind of lily.

I assume those are the leaves in the background apply to the flower. It limits the search by a lot if it is.

If you mean the green in the very back, behind the second flower, then I would assume the same.
