Thanks for all the replies. As I discovered Clarkia, I decided to see if
there were any plants with my daughter's names; Rosamund/Rosie is not a
problem, but any suggestions for Amy/beloved?

Hebe 'Amy' forms an upright shrub, with dark purple stems, which in time
reaches 3 ft (90 cm) high and 2 ft (60 cm). The leaves are deep shiny green,
flushed with purple 2 in (50 mm) long and 1 in wide, with purple new growth,
especially in winter. It has rich violet flowers in 2.5 in (60 cm) long spikes;
these are seen in summer and autumn. Not fully hardy, so best grown in gardens
near the coast, or in a protected frost-free garden.
