floridly
In flowery style
Floridly describes doing something in a florid manner—with excessive ornamentation or flowery elaboration.
A speaker who gestures floridly uses dramatic, exaggerated movements.
Prose written floridly overflows with decorative language: He described the sunset floridly, piling adjective upon adjective.
The word can also describe flushed redness: His face reddened floridly with embarrassment.
