A blossoming plant
Derived directly from the English word for a blossom, which itself comes from the Old French 'flor' and Latin 'flos'. While historically used as a nickname or a middle name, it has seen occasional use as a first name during the Victorian era and the 1960s. It represents the general essence of nature rather than a specific species.
