The starting player is the first active player. After that, players take turns going to the left.

Note: Don’t pass the starting player card. It stays with the starting player for the whole game (see "The End of the Game").

When it is your turn, you play through these four phases in order:

1. Plant Flower Cards from Your Hand

2. Turn Over and Trade Flower Cards

3. Plant Turned-over and Traded Flower Cards

4. Draw Flower Cards
