Aster is nice and would work well on a boy, but most flower names would sound too effeminate. Some herbs and trees seem to work better as male names or at least sound unisex. Begonia sounds terrible even worse than Petunia, Orchid or Myrtle. Some flowers like Hydrangea and Ranunculus simply sound ridiculous. Hycinth reminds me of the overbearing protagonist/antagonist in the old show "Keeping Up Appearances."
Most of these flower names I would not use.
