The cultivation and growing of flowering plants and flowers as a profession or hobby.
From Latin flōs (flower) combined with English culture, following the model of agriculture and horticulture. The term emerged in the 19th century as flower growing became an organized commercial industry.
Floriculture is worth billions of dollars globally—Netherlands alone grows 100 billion flowers per year! The Dutch basically invented modern floriculture when they went crazy for tulips 400 years ago.
