Flower/plant middle name for ‘Bronwyn’

Can you lovely bunch help me find a flower or plant name as a middle name for ‘Bronwyn’ please?

We liked ‘Lily’ as a name but I’m not sure it sits well next to Bronwyn? Ivy would be perfect but that’s my first’s middle name 🤦‍♀️

Thank you for explaining, I didn't know.

Bronwen Fflur and Bronwen Iris sound great, I agree.

Others ..
Bronwen Xanthe
Bronwen Alfalfa
Bronwen Amarylis
Bronwen Daisy

Anything but Rose because it’s every other girls middle name.

@DSD9472 , the Bronwyn spelling makes it look like it's a boy's name, but it's not used as a boy's name. The misspelling looks ugly to us Welsh-speakers, and changes the pronunciation from BRON-wenn to BRON-win.
OP lives in Wales.

@SurvivalKits , what will happen? People will think 'Why have you misspelt it?'

Eirlys, means snowdrop

That's my favourite. Beautiful suggestion.

@DewinDwl , Dwynwyn wouldn't work either. Smile
Or Berwen.

Re the spelling problem: as a different example Robin is usually for a boy and Robyn is usually for a girl but I much prefer the Robin spelling and know some girls called Robin. Is it not possible at all to use Bronwyn? What's going to happen?

Edited

It's either right or it's not in Welsh. The names Emil and Emily are analogous. They're different names.

It's not like Robyn or Robin in English where it doesn't matter.

Bronwen Lili would be lovely,
Bronwen Celyn
Bronwen Ffion
Bronwen Fflur

Alternatives if it doesn't have to be a flower - Bronwen Haf or Bronwen Medi are nice, depending on when she will be born.
