Summer would be a viable option imo. And Lotus would be considered a more eccentric choice but I kind of like it? I vote Lotus. But in general I'd use a nature name to match your birth name theme. If you want something that would "blend in" more I'd suggest Summer, Autumn, Rose, Rosa, Rosemary, Daisy, Violet, Lily, Jasmine, Willow, Sage, Ginger, Fawn, Fern, Ivy, Holly, Iris, Wren, Flora, Florence

Do you want to keep a similar meaning? If so, Summer or any of the flower names suggested are good. It looks like your name might be transliterated at Yuhe, so maybe Yasmin or a variant of that if you want to keep the name starting sound.Some other ideas that haven't already been shared:
Dahlia
Daphne
Hazel
Ivy
Theresa

I don't know of any direct translations, but you could do just "Summer", like a lot of american girls, or you could go with other nice floral names like Jasmine or Daisy.
