I know only of three:
chal "beautiful flower which blossoms in the Klingon spring" (Sarek)
naHjej "a thistle (a flower with dangerously sharp leaves) is a naHjej
(literally, sharp fruit)" (KGT 88). N.B. spelled neHjej in KGT Add.
*tlhoghnI' night-blooming Throgni. An odd odor reminded Worf of this fragrant
Klingon flower in TNG "Angel One".
{chal} appeared in Crispin's novel _Sarek_ (for which Okrand supplied some
Klingon). "Throgni" is listed in the Okudas' Encyclopedia, though Okrand
has never provided a tlhIngan Hol spelling; the form {*tlhoghnI'} has been
used in some fan fiction however.
There are other Klingon plants of course, but it is not known whether any of
them are flowering.
