according to--
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/floriculturist
floriculturist=is a florist who specializes in cultivation and management of ornamental and flowering plants and trees--thus ornamental horticulturist may specialize in
ornamental plants selected for--colour, texture, blooms, and so on, but not in plants and blooms selected for culinary or medicinal uses, for example-- it is in style to add ornamental plants and flowers to fancy dishes in posh restaurants--and it takes a specialist in horticulture, flowers, herbs, and culinary arts to select and supply the edible flowers and ornamentals.
I hope it helps.

Floriculturist is knowledgeable in growing and (perhaps) breeding flowers. By knowledgeable that also includes the culture as well as diagnosis problems. When adding "ornamental" you detail this to someone who works ith flowers used in ornament as opposed to flowers used in dyes, etc.
So what does an ornamental floriculturist do? Breeds and grows flowers for the floral industry, perhaps designs flower displays for parks and is responsible for growing the crop.
An ornamental horticulturist is someone who works with ornamental plants...flowers but also lawns, trees and shrubs. They are often in charge of plant nurseries either as a grower or retailer. They can also be employeed by a landscape company to diagnose problems for clients. Or perhaps they can find employment with Cooperative Extension Service or other "green industry" jobs.

Try doing your search using "floriculturist" as the spelling, it's someone in the cut flower industry, ornamental goes without saying. RScott
