- to bloom, blossom, flower
- 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 5.263–266:
- ‘sī bene flōruerint segetēs, erit āreā dīves;
sī bene flōruerit vīnea, Bacchus erit;
sī bene flōruerint oleae, nitidissimus annus,
pōmaque prōventum temporis huius habent.’- “If the crops blossom well, the threshing floor will be rich; if the vineyard blossoms well, Bacchus will be [pleased]; if the olive trees blossom well, the year [will be] most polished [with oil], and fruits [will also] have the prosperity of this season.”
(Translating the Latin future perfect tense as English present tense. The poetic voice is that of Flora (mythology).)
