Flora is the name of two unrelated varieties of grape, one white and one red, both of United States origin.
White Flora
The white Flora is a California wine grape. It is a crossing of Semillon and Gewürztraminer, both Vitis vinifera varieties, and it was created in 1938 by Harald P. Olmo at the California Agricultural Experiment Station.[1][2]
Red Flora
The red Flora is an interspecific hybrid between V. vinifera and Vitis labrusca, and it was created in 1850 by A. M. Spangler.[3]
