I was just thinking- shouldn't there be another flower? Maybe one that can be in jungles, like on vines or something, that could make a new dye? And there is always that cyan flower from the pocket edition that has yet to be transferred. And now that there are flower pots, shouldn't there be a new flower to accompany it?
Lapis should make fancier colors like Aquamarine, or be used to make gold threaded cloth or something. Regular blue dye should come from flowers, though.

Allocators are no longer the future, we have Hoppers now. I still like them, though.
Unless lapiz lupuzi becomes a useful thing in Vanilla minecraft, I cannot find a new color of flower that would change the dynamics of the difficulty of getting dyes to put a hard to get into the same difficulty as the rest of them. As such, I am against any new flowers.
Also, adding a new color to Minecraft's palette won't occur unless 16 colors are added. And 16 colors aren't going to be added. The reason for this is because colored blocks always use metadata for colors, and metadata is limited to 4 bits and 2^4 = 16. If a 17th color is added, all colored blocks will need to take up two block IDs. Also, other than yet another shade of blue (there's 3 already), most colors are already well represented.
Edit: RedPower adds indigo flowers to the landscape. They look nice. I've yet to collect any, since they are useless compared to red/yellow flowers which have their dyes used for logistics pipes. But that's the forge modding side of Minecraft.
Also, the cyan flower in the Android (?) version of Minecraft is due to a technical bug that disallows red (?) flowers. There's details about it on the Minecraft wiki.
