A bride brought me the new issue of Pacific Wedding Magazine and wants the flower that is on the cover. Not the ones flat against the cake, but the one full flower on the right sideof the picture. http://pacificweddings.com/ Anybody know what it is? TIA!

It almost looks like a dogwood to me, but I could be completely off base. I am not very good with my flowers.

I'd go w/magnolia but it also could be some kind of oversized orchid. Definately not dogwood, and a camellia would have more petals around the center...tight bud, then open petals. This doesn't.

The Magnolia has a pointy petal and this one is round and has the little dip in, like the Dogwood has...however a Dogwood only has 4 petals and this one appears to have more. I kind of think they just made a flower.

That looks to be a wild rose in bloom, see here (http://www.americanmeadows.com/QuickGuideToWildflowers/FavoriteWildflowerSpecies/TheWildRoses.aspx)

IMHO-- Dogwood have only a four petal flower "head" and most magnolias have smooth petals, not fluted as seen in the Pacific Wedding photo. I still think wild rose, or woodrose are your best options. icon_rolleyes.gif

I think its some kind of open rose or something too. I found this picture of a briar rose, I think its similar:
http://images.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/gumpaste/briar-rose-2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/gumpaste/stamens.htm&h=560&w=601&sz=41&hl=en&start=2&tbnid=gFkOuvfSCR1xLM:&tbnh=126&tbnw=135&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgumpaste%2Bbriar%2Brose%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den

And I also think it is similar to an anemone:

I think sometimes sugar flowers are a bit of creativeness from the person who made it, you can be creative yourself and put whatever you want into a flower, and leave out the bits you don't. This could be some rose-magnolia-whatever else hybrid!!!

I said Camellia earlier -- I meant Gardenia -- sorry, long day!

Definitely not a Magnolia (I have one in my backyard)

Gardenia or Dogwood thumbs_up.gif
