Following the English translation of florilegium:

  1. a collection of literary extracts; an anthology.

Early 17th century: modern Latin, literally ‘bouquet’ (from Latin flosflor- ‘flower’ + legere ‘gather’), translation of Greek anthologion.

Occasional arrangements of prose, poems, scripts, and scraps. I’d provide real flowers, but—y’know—money! and mailing! Perhaps in another world.
