Now, this is different considering that we don't have a plant called Firebloom. Flame Flower Queen is harsh to the ear, unlike the elegant Firebloom Queen. I'm neutral either way, but I wanted to point out that ridiculousness can arise from character-by-character translation. Obviously stuff like that would be an exception; but if it's stuff like this, which isn't really plausibly something else (like, you can't just change flame flower -> firebloom, like you can with ground thorn -> spikeweed, given there's no "firebloom" in international games to base it off of), then the literal translation is used. You forgot the most important part: Firebloom is not a word, and not used anywhere except for WoW. Spikeweed isn't a word either, if you wanna be technical on me. However, since we have a "spikeweed" from international PvZ games we can base it off, that's why we make "ground thorn" into "spikeweed." But, since we have no "firebloom" in international PvZ games we can possibly base it off of...
