Any thoughts on Lupin (ok strictly speaking it's a boy's name, but it's also a flower) or Zinnia (one of the twins in the Darling Buds of May)? Looking for something botanical that isn't 'flowery'. Any other suggestions?

Verbena is nice.

Zinnia is the mum out of Matilda.

Laurel (but it's stretching the floral theme into trees)
