    I can't enlarge them here either, but I could bring them into photo program on my computer and zoom in a bit.
    I think the white one is a tulip, based on the flower shape, the shape of the style, and its foliage.

    Yup me thinks you are correct re white one its the stamen area. I still can't work your method but when I have a moment it will be something new to fiddle with. Better get back to work

    Tulipa is the genus of Tulip. If you mean which species I doubt
    it would be assignable to one. Most likely it's of garden origin.
    IE a selection or hybrid of which there are hundreds at least.

    The second one could be a primrose or primula. It would be helpful, if leaves were included in the photo, since they are often a better indicator of the identity of the plant

    Sorry, these are only pieces of leaves directly below the blossom and not very discernable, but in this picture it looks like a petunia. The basic leaves of the petunias (not the ones directly below the flower) are heart shaped, but see for yourself: http://www.fotosearch.com/photos-images/petunia.html
