Flora Encyclopedia Britannica

FLORA, in Roman mythology, a goddess of spring-time and flowers, to whom for her fostering influence a festival (Floralid) of great gaiety and perhaps excessive licence was held in Rome, at first irregularly, but after 173 b.c. annually, with increasing popularity. This festival was extended to five days, April 28 to May 3, the date of April 28 answering to the foundation day of the temple of Flora near the Circus Maximus. To her worship was attached a Flamen Floralis.
