can anyone point me in the direction of a good plant/flower
identification
guide?

my partner recently received a "cocktail bouquet" from www.tesco.com
and
we`ve no idea what one of the flowers is


Some of the flowers in the Tesco bouquets are artificially coloured,
I've seen some where the stem, when cut was red throughout, and an
obvious artificial red as well. So even though you may find out the name
of the plant, there is quite a possibility that you could not find it to
grow yourself.
