The creamy white blossom on the right. When Randy sent these anniversary flowers on May 1, the flower was a tighter cluster, like a large frilled tulip or a yellow peony. Now it has opened to reveal a center of brilliant gold pistils and four velvety pods in the center. Gorgeous and strange.

Looks almost like a smaller version of a magnolia flower, though botanically speaking I wouldn't know my elbow from my... anything else.
Really does look like a peony to me, but I trust you on the center of the flower. Beautiful, and happy anniversary!
My first thought was 'gardenia' but then I think 'not' because my mental gardenia has more graduated petals -- large at the outer rim, smaller toward the middle.
What we need is facial recognizition software for flowers.
Actually, try checking out the Lotus Queen Peony. http://www.peonies.net/details.php?id=129
That's it! Thanks, Janet! You're a super sleuth.
