Flowers (F)
Colors distinguish suit groups.
Tile pictures are examples; follow each hand's note.
Reading the card. F = flower · D = dragon · N/E/W/S = winds. The framed white dragon also represents zero “0” and may be used with any suit. The orchid represents any interchangeable flower, not identical orchids. Pictures show one complete example per alternative; follow each hand's note. Quints show all 14 tiles, with joker tiles completing each five-tile group.
Printing tips
Choose Letter or A4, then Print / Save PDF. In the print dialog, select Save as PDF or your printer. Match the selected paper, use landscape at 100% scale, keep color on, and turn off headers and footers.
The illustrated reference includes every hand, alternative, and note across 5 landscape pages, with each hand's 14 tiles on a single line. Keep pages whole, or enable cut guides to make 10 table-side strips, roughly 5 inches (13 cm) wide.
