But those still couldn't be buttercups. Otherwise the game would call them buttercups, not just "golden flowers".

They're the flowers from their home village. And Chara knows what buttercups look like, since they used them to poison themselves.

These "golden flowers" fall into the specise of daisies, sunflowers and buttercups. So Flowey could be any of those three.

To answer this once and for all, the flower that best represents Flowey is a flower known as a Cream Cup. http://leavesofplants.blogspot.com/2013/04/cream-cups.html
