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 France some common ones are Rose, Iris, Capucine (Nasturtium), Hortense (Hydrangea), Marguerite (Daisy), Violette, Azalée (Azalea), Camélia, Fleur (Flower), Lilas (Lilac). There's way more than that but those are the ones that come to mind.
