Esty's right, naming girls after flowers is very common for hobbits. What's more, the literal meaning of the name is simply something like 'pretty lady', so that is not too strange either. The quite different nature of the plant on its inside may or may not have been intented by the people giving her that name; but from what we know hobbits weren't very careful with that.
