    This flower looks like a carnation, smells and feels like a rose with out thorns. I know it grows from a bulb and its buds are small pink balls.

    Looks like a kind of peony to me. Many, many cultivars, so to be more specific requires much research. Search for [SEARCH]Paeonia[/SEARCH] or [SEARCH]peony[/SEARCH] on these forums for recent links to sites with peony flowers that you can browse through and attempt to identify it.

    I have searched peonys but nothing looks close to it. The leaves arent the same and the bottem row of petals on the flower stand out not up. Also the middle of this flower is finger like with about 3 "tenticals" that are very stiff with pollen in the middle.
