Feast of Flowers (Easter)
According to his chroniclers, Ponce de León named the region La Florida ("flowery land") because it was then the Easter Season, known in Spanish as Pascua Florida (roughly "Flowery Easter"), and because the vegetation was in bloom.

Ponce de León named Florida "la Florida", in honor of Pascua Florida ("feast of the flowers") a Spanish fesival usually celebrated around Easter, or the first week of April. I believe Florida celebrates it on April 2.
