In Roman mythology, Flora (Latin: Flōra) is a Sabine-derived goddess of flowers[1] and of the season of spring[2] -- a symbol for nature and flowers (especially the may-flower). While she was otherwise a relatively minor figure in Roman mythology, being one among several fertility goddesses, her association with the spring gave her particular importance at the coming of springtime,[3] as did her role as goddess of youth.[4] Her Greek counterpart is Chloris.
