    This is kind of an odd question to ask but I'll go ahead anyways....
    Can anyone tell me what kind of flower this is? A friend of mine is trying to figure out what kind of flower this is and she's been at it for a while now but to no avail. I have no earthly idea. Thanks in advance.

    This doesn't help much, but it's definitely not a dandelion. Dandelions kinda resemble a sunflower I think.

    It looks like some kind of hyacinth to me but the stem doesn't look right.

    It's a variety of the "stock" flower. It's tough to google due to the generic name "stock." The one in the picture is a hybrid. It likely has a pretty strong scent. The hybrid shown is a derivative of the genus Matthiola, I think.

    Thank you, antisonic. Priceless.

    The leaves of that plant look like an orchid, but I've never seen orchid flowers like that...
