The moniker “Flower,” which comes from the English translation of Fleury’s last name, is used to refer to him (fleuri is “in bloom”, or “in flower”, in French).
Marc-Andre Fleury’s nick name is Flower, as is well known. It comes from his last name’s translation into English, and over the course of two decades in the NHL, it has strongly contributed to his sense of self between the pipes.
