I think Fleur is Rosemary.

I was actually looking for the perfect plant for Luna, but when I came across the "mythology" section of the Rosemary plant, I knew it would fit Fleur much better.

Rosemary is often used as landscaping, and is considered pretty easy to grow, and somewhat pest-resistant. It's ever so slightly prickly because of it's leaves- just like fleur is. But Rosemary is really fragrant, and is associated with the Goddess Aphroditite- it was said to be draped over her when she arose from the sea. I don't know of any other Goddess I would put Fleur with first. xD The one of beauty and love seems to fit perfectly! Not to mention that Rosemary is also used for rememberance, and love and loyalty. Rosemary used to be used in weddding ceremonies in the middle ages, and Fleur of course gets married in the books.

As a funny thing worth noting- too much Rosemary can cause seizures or spasms, just like Fleur's beauty can be a little overwhelming. Rosemary's also used to scent lotions and the like, and I imagine Fleur appreciates a good scent.
