Flower names for girls

Hello! I’m new here. Currently expecting our 3rd & final baby. We have two beautiful girls already - Poppy and Bluebell, and have recently found out this baby is a girl too! So we are looking for another flower name to go with Poppy and Bluebell. I’ve always loved Rose, however it I struggle because of the association with Rose West the serial killer (silly I know because the name and the flower are beautiful but I always think of her) Lily is also gorgeous but I already know lots of Lily’s. Any suggestions?
Other option we thought of is going for a jewel name as I’m named after a jewel myself, but ideally would like a flower to go with the other two 😊💜 - Please note, my other 2 girls are already named so I really don’t need to know if you don’t like their names 😹 just looking for ideas on what to call DD3, thanks in advance 🌸🩷 x

Thank you so much everyone! Lots of beautiful suggestions! 💐
Showed DH the thread replies & his top 3 from
the suggestions are Lavender, Peony and Willow.
I love so many of them though! So many lovely suggestions that I haven’t even thought of.
Also a couple of you mentioned my own name (Amber) which made me smile 😊
Thank you so much again everyone! Will keep you posted if we manage we make a decision 🩷🌸 x

Zinnia ❤️

Rosa is such a beautiful name if you aren’t sure about Rose (although I would never have associated the name rose with rose west).

Also love the suggestion of Posy, like the little sister ballerina in Ballet Shoes :)

Iris is a beautiful name.

We have Iris as a middle name, after a family member.

I know a number of girls with Rose in their name snd wouldn't think of Rose West at all.
