This blossom on a woody stem was in the bouquet of roses and lilies which Neil gave me.

Can anybody identify it for me?

Naming of parts etc - still lovely whatever it's called!
They look beautiful, but no idea what variety they are.

It looks like Geraldton wax to me. It's an Australian native. As this is not its usual flowering season, your flowers have probably been grown elsewhere.
A little more info courtesy of Google :)
Chamaelaucium uncinatum, Geraldton wax, is a flowering plant endemic to Western Australia. It is an erect shrub 0.5 to 4m high, bearing white or pink flowers June-November. The name uncinatum means "hooked" in Latin, in reference to the tips of the leaves.

The flowers (somewhat resembling those of the tea tree) last a relatively long time after cutting, making the plant popular in horticulture. It is widely cultivated throughout Australia, both in home gardens and in the cut flower industry. Purple-flowering cultivars have been developed.

It is a wax flower Hazel widely used by florists. Lovely capture and a pretty colour. If you google wax flower it will show you all the varities and colours.

I was going to say it looks like our (nz) manuka flower (teatree) but @merrelyn is probably right. Very pretty

This is a gorgeous image. Looks like a very waxy version of NZ tea tree.
