I imagine Fleur Delacour as being a white Western Anemone Flower (http://www.johnharveyphoto.com/WhistlerPeak/WesternAnemoneFlowerHg.jpg). It's a beautiful and soft flower, but is also very hearty; it can grow in some very tough places (believe me, I have them in my yard in Seattle and the weather there is not exactly peachy). It's beautiful in a way that some flowers aren't; it's not a conventional-beautiful like the rose, which albeit pretty, is very recognised and common. The anemone is beautiful, but is less common.
This reminds me of Fleur because while she might come off as soft and charming, she's actually quite stalwart and hearty. She's made it through difficult conditions such as hiding out, but always offers strength to those around her. She is beautiful, but uncommonly so, given her Veela heritage.
I'm not a botanist here, so perhaps there's a flower that could fit her better, it's the first thing that came to mind.
