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.
If I remember correctly, maybe japan.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

Clematis Florida Sieboldii. Ignore the page title, imo.
