For florid I also have run across the following:

http://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/browse/UF.HTM#FLORID

Looks to me that florid really is an adjective in this and not really a noun.  The above link refers to a florid shield and says florid refers tot he shape of the shield.  This doe not make it a charge in and of itself.  As has been pointed out, the charge is the shield itself.
