At the end of the game, the player who has the lowest total value in points across both the seasons and the remainder of their hand is the winner.
In the botanical world, a Florilegium is a collection of scientifically accurate illustrations of plants and flowers. In history long past, it was important that cooks and apothecaries could identify different plants so as to not accidentally kill people, but many of the artists copied illustrations of plants they had never seen for themselves. Modern florilegia are compiled of only the finest illustrations of living plants.
