ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Florilegium

A florilegium is like a special book that has all sorts of pretty flowers and plants in it. But instead of being just pictures, it has words too! These words were written by people a long time ago who really liked flowers and wanted to share special things about them with others.

Nowadays, people use a florilegium to learn about different kinds of plants and flowers, and why they are important to our world. Think of it like a really cool scrapbook that teaches you about nature!
