I know the individual in question.  Sarah is a new member of my shire and
believe it or not, she has been using the term Florilegium since before she
joined the society.  She earns money as a florist specializing in Weddings
and Special Events, and has been researching the history of floral displays.
So she was using florilegium for its original usage.... a compendium of
flowers.   (the name of her company is St. Georges Florilegium.....  St.
Georges is the name of a town in Delaware)

She had actually tried to register her email account using the correct
spelling but it was supposedly used already in use.... thus she uses
floriligeum at aol.com

She is also becoming a new scribe and is doing some absolutely fantastic
work.  But that actually has nothing to do with her usage of the term.
