The act or process of decorating something with floral designs or the result of such decoration.
Derived from floriate with the suffix -tion, which forms nouns of action or result. The term became standard in art history and decorative arts to describe the specific practice of adding flower motifs.
Floriation isn't just random pretty flowers—it follows rules! Renaissance artists used specific flower types and arrangements to convey meanings, so a rose meant something different than a lily in the same design.
