flowery
Full of blossoms
Flowery describes something covered with or resembling flowers: a flowery meadow, flowery wallpaper.
More often, flowery characterizes language or style that is elaborately ornate—full of decorative words and figures of speech: flowery prose, a flowery speech.
The implication is usually unfavorable, suggesting excess or insincerity rather than eloquence.
