May first... Time to honor Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, fertility and spring.
.
"She was a minor Roman goddess who
typified the season of Spring and generally represented as a beautiful
maiden, garlanded with flowers."
.
"Her name is derived from the Latin word
'floris' meaning flower."
.
"The goddess Flora was celebrated in the six day
Floralia festival, which climaxed with gladiatorial games. The Greek
counterpart of this ancient Roman goddess was Chloris."~~source
