ID please . . .
Would someone be able to identify this flower for me please?
I'm preparing an image to become a tattoo for my daughter and that flower's going to be an integral part of it.
The stuff around the flower won't be there but I'm thinking that it might require a leaf or two behind it and as the tattoo's a particularly personal one, I want to be sure that the leaves I use are the correct ones for that flower and not just a generic leaf.
Thanks!

Freesia?

Hmmm.
Could well be.
Edit:
Thanks CB, I think you're right. I've found a stock image that's very similar.
Ah that's good. Neighbour of mine has something very similar in her garden. 
Freesias do not have leaves on the plant themselves. They grow from bulbs and much like a daffodil the stalk is quite seperate from the surrounding leaves which are long and thin and are usually fading by the time the plant flowers. The leaves are not attractive being weak and floppy shortly after reaching their full height and well before the flowers bloom. When freesias are included in a bouquet or buttonhole they are usually accompanied by fine ferns. There are some in my portfolio.
This is the pot with one flower open and the rest still in bud. You can see tht the leaves are already looking pretty bedraggled.
Thanks Angie.
It might have to be a fern then.
