This is a great idea! I really agree with the flowers wewe picked and I think they fit each princess extremely well. Your ideas are mostly what I would've picked, so these are just some alternatives that I also think would fit well:
Snow White: calla lily (Pure white like her name, and they represent beauty, overcoming adversity, and rebirth, all of which fit her story extremely well.)
Cinderella: peony (One of my absolute inayopendelewa flowers, they just look so gentle and sweet like Cindy herself, and they are so fluffy they remind me of tiny ballgowns! Also, they symbolize riches, honor, romance, and prosperity, key aspects of her tale.)
Aurora: prickly wild rose (I definitely think a red rose fits her well, but I'd also like to nominate the prickly wild rose, not only because it matches her name, but because they are delicate and elegant, but still very much at nyumbani in nature rather than in a cultivated garden, and also they are pink like her ballgown. They symbolize upendo and adoration.)
Ariel: daffodil (This was a tough one, but I think daffodils fit her pretty well. They are bright and sunny like Ariel's personality and they symbolize rebirth, and Ariel was essentially reborn as a human.)
Belle: bluebell (Ok, so the red rose definitely fits her best, but I think bluebell is a close second. Obviously, it fits her name, but there's also the fact that she's the only character in town who wears blue. Bluebells also symbolize everlasting upendo and constancy, which I think can definitely be applied to Belle's relationship with her father.)
Jasmine: iris (This was another hard one, because obviously jimmy, hunitumia fits Jas best, but I think iris works well too since they symbolize royalty, wisdom, and valor.)
Pocahontas: Indian blanketflower (Yes, I am being super fucking cliche with this one, but hear me out. I really struggled to find one for Poca, but not only does this maua, ua remind me of her tattoo, but it is also native to Virginia! Also, in my defense, I saw a picha of the maua, ua and thought it would fit her well BEFORE I read the name.)
Mulan: plum blossom (Similar to the cherry blossom, and native to China, it symbolizes perseverance, hope, beauty, purity, and the transitoriness of life, which I think fits Mulan well.)
Tiana: ranunculus (I agree that water lily is best for Tiana, but I think ranunculus is a veeery close sekunde because its name means "little frog" in Latin! So perfect! And they are gorgeous flowers to boot.)
Rapunzel: rampion bellflower (The maua, ua Punzie was named for! So clearly I had to pick it. Plus, they are adorable just like Punz.)
Merida: borage (Ok, so nothing really fits her as well as thistle, but borage symbolizes courage and they're a deep blue like her dress, so... I guess it works?)
Moana: frangipani (Commonly found in tropical climates, these flowers can symbolize new life and renewal, which is exactly what Moana brings to her island.)
