It’s probably useful to start with the flower whose meaning most writers seem to (largely) agree upon. That is, of course, the namesake of Harry’s mother, the lily. I chose to include the extract from Asbury’s poem for this reason, but also because the direct juxtaposition of the lily and petunia seemed an appropriate coincidence.

— Description
Asphodel and wormwood
Asphodel was a type of lily and meant 'remembered beyond the tomb' or 'my regrets follow you to the grave' while wormwood was often associated with regret or bitterness. On 2 September 1991, Severus Snape asked his student Harry Potter a question about asphodel and wormwood, to which Harry was unable to answer. However, unbeknownst to him, Snape was using the language of flowers to express how regretful he was for Harry's mother Lily's death.
Monkshood and wolfsbane
In the same class, Snape also asked Harry the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane. It was perhaps a more poignant sentence when looked at through the language of flowers. Monkshood was associated with 'chivalry' while wolfsbane can mean 'misanthropy' or a dislike of others. Here it could be said that Snape was comparing the heroic actions of Lily Potter with Snape's own distrustful nature. Or even perhaps between Harry and himself.
Lily Potter
A lily can be interpreted as 'beauty, elegance, sweetness'. This striking flower was easy to grow, as long as it was planted in the right place. They also, according to gardening manuals, made wonderful cut flowers.
Petunia Dursley
Susceptible to damage and best grown in a container or basket, the petunia required shelter from the wind and plenty of light. It was also a flower that could, in the language of flowers, represent 'resentment and anger'.
