The "festival" at Connecticut College has little to do with the original event, and should be considered insignificant and probably be removed. For comparison, there used to be a page about Brown University's "SexPowerGod" party, but since there are similar parties at other schools, it is not especially noteworthy. In this case, nearly every university has some sort of Spring Weekend festivities, and calling it "Floralia" or not makes no difference.
cleanup is needed. a mention of the modern party of the same name probably wouldn't be a bad thing but the sophomoric treatment it currently enjoys is too much. However, I don't know anything about either topic so I've added a cleanup tag. Jasongetsdown 19:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
First of all, I believe that it is not UConn, and is rather Connecticut College. Second, this celebration has a great amount to do with the original festival/tradition- when the school was first an all-female institution, it was started in celebration of the tradition. While it has evolved into a more "modern" college celebration, the tradition has been maintained for years, and deserves its place.
Many sources give April 28, not 27, as the commencement of Floralia. Alpheus ( talk) 04:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
The wikipedia page for the Floralia gives the date as April 28th- May 3rd. Consistency please! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.207.233.115 ( talk) 20:36, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
hi (2012-12-27) to Cynwolfe
the whole point of interest of florifertum is the self contained contradiction in Festus's definition "florifertum" of "spicae"; that's what K.Latte, P.Wissowa etc try to explain, with of course a range of different views given the thinness of inputs; Françoise-Hélène Massa-Pailrault's article "Lasa Vecu-Lasa Vecuvia" is actually for 60% of its content a lengthy discussion of precisely that paradox and ends up suggesting the Mars connection; no personal editing at all here
my "feeling" is that somehow this "paradoxical" status of the "source"'s statement should be clearly highlighted as such, but I am not sure just how to do it; however the current reading as such indeed much improves the perception of underlying complexity regards Robiquetgobley ( talk) 09:02, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
well, indeed Pliny (NH, XVIII) applies florere to the frumenta type of plants Robiquetgobley ( talk) 16:39, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
