I think the roots of the names are curious...

Petunia-"Petunia "A genus of ornamental herbaceous plants (N.O. 
Solanaceæ or Atropaceæ) nearly allied to tobacco, natives of South 
America; they bear white, violet or purple, and variegated funnel-
shaped flowers. Also, a plant or flower of this" 

Lily-"any of a genus (Lilium of the family Liliaceae, the lily 
family) of erect perennial leafy-stemmed bulbous herbs that are 
native to the northern hemisphere and are widely cultivated for their 
showy flowers; broadly : any of various plants of the lily family or 
of the related amaryllis or iris families"

One is related to tobacco, while the other, though not clearly 
mentioned above, is associated with rebirth. 

and, for a little bit of overanalysis, one from north, while the 
other from the south.  polar opposites?
