means Relating to flowers, or decorated with flower patterns and designs.
from From Latin 'floralis,' belonging to flowers, from 'flos' (stem 'flor-'), meaning flower — the same root that gave us flora, flourish, and Flora herself, the Roman goddess of blossoms whose spring festival, the Floralia, was a riot of garlands and color. English borrowed 'floral' in the 17th century, and it has been making things prettier ever since.
