Flowers in art

In heraldry, in this case.
Searching for information about Lille and Flanders, I see that it has a fleur de lys on its coat of arms. Wiki has a lot of info on this: Fleur de lys - Wikipédia

I'm surprised that the seaside flower Pancratium maritimum hasn't been incorporated into heraldry:

Especially in Brittany where it seems only to exist on one island:
Lys de Houat - Wildlife Photography

Of course, in Britain roses must be the most commonly used flower in heraldry?
