The present participle "flourishing" can be used as an adjective (in the process of flourishing), for either of the main meanings (to grow, prosper, or to wave, display ostentatiously).

The past participle "flourished" is only used as an adjective for the second meaning (e.g. a flourished ace, a flourished weapon).

* The derivative adjective flourishable sees virtually no modern use.
