Does anyone know where i can get the scientific names for flowers?

There are lots of data bases on line as well as plant dictionaries or botanicals.

'Shorter dictionary of Gardening' from the Royal Horticultural Society editor Michael Pollock

I would guess that you could ask a botanist or look it up online although it might be difficult online to describe a flowers exact features and have it find a name. What you could do is type in "names of flowers" (be sure to use quotes) and or, if you're on Yahoo (I'm not sure if they have this feature for other search engines), click on "images" and type in "names of flowers". Then you might be able to see a picture of the flower you're looking for and in the caption of the picture, it will have a name.

They list the whole scientific classification from kingdom to genus.
