The Floralia, her festival, which took place from April 28 to May 3 and represented the rebirth of the cycles of life, drinking, and flowers. Chloris, a nymph, is Chlora’s Greek counterpart. She was one of numerous fertility deities in Roman mythology, and although she was often a minor character, the arrival of spring gave her special significance, as did her status as the goddess of youth. She was one of the Floralis, one of the flamines minores, one of the fifteen goddesses with their own flamen. Chloris is her Greek equivalent.
