Kevin Raymond’s Florilegium turns LaTeX document margins into small blue gardens. Lua code draws each petal, leaf and stem directly into the PDF. Its grown layout fills available space—including the gap beneath a short final page—and a fixed seed keeps the decoration reproducible.

AI assisted the development: Raymond used Claude for planning and Claude Code for implementation, and published both session write-ups. One revealing moment: he pushed back when the first output copied the reference too closely. The finished tool draws with procedural geometry rather than generating images with an AI model.

It’s MIT-licensed and requires LuaLaTeX. The repository includes example PDFs, adjustable colours and density, and seasonal variants.
