dilemma with hana-bi and hana hi


So I know that **hana-bi** ( **はなび** ) means _firework_ s but if I want to say
in more artistic way (and not about fireworks) _flower of fire/flames_ can I
say **hana hi** ( **はなひ** )? Whether it will be understood? And can i still
write it as **花火** or something different. Or maybe it will always be a
mistake. Thanks in advance!




火の花 (building on OP's suggestion of 花の火) might be a good answer.

For what it's worth, Mario's fireball is described as
[**火の玉**](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%9E%E3%83%AA%E3%82%AA_%28%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%A9%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%29#.E4.B8.BB.E3.81.AA.E3.82.A2.E3.82.AF.E3.82.B7.E3.83.A7.E3.83.B3)
(= ball of fire) - not "fire that looks like a ball" or "spherical fire" but
literally "ball of fire":

> 片手から **火の玉** を生み出し前方に向けて撃つ技。
