And Susan doesn't count?
While Susan is a female name, it is not a flower. Black-eyed Susan is a flower but not a name.
So, no, Susan does not work.

Also all of group a end with a vowel and all of group b, other than poppy end with consonant
I did not notice that.
jefe1985's observation is correct, but this just illustrates the fact that most (all?) group questions can be filtered in more than one way, at varying levels of pedantry! Finding an alternative solution does not detract from the original, in my opinion, unless there are lots of obvious alternatives.
And a question for you - you mention that Group B share another characteristic. Is it that they are flowers but not common names? Very good teaser

I love the way your group teasers include double meanings, in this case both flowers and names. I felt I was out on a limb saying Poppy was a common name, but I was okay. What I have never heard of is the flower called a Veronica.
Great teaser!
