So far, I have Magnolia, Rose, Violet/Violeta, Petunia, Lily, and Daisy for English, though Violeta is Albanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Lithuanian, Romanian, Serbian, Spanish, and Portuguese according to the Wikipedia.

In Swedish there is Linnéa. After the Linnaea flower (Linnea in Swedish). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linnaea

There is also Rosa, Viola and Iris but Linnéa is probably more common.
