Princess of Flowers      Rose from A Garden of Flowers This Rose wears buds on her shoulders and her gown looks almost bridal, suggesting greenness and innocence. The card indicates a person who is sensitive and emotional, or sometimes young at heart instead of in years. (Rider-Waite)

Prince of Flowers      Prince Daniel from Swan Lake The card of the romantic dreamer, this prince is in danger of deluding himself. In the Barbie version of the ballet, of course, the prince marries the right Barbie, they banish the evil sorcerer and they live happily ever after, but not all fairy tales end so well and the prince's story might serve as a warning about being easily led. (Rider-Waite)

Queen of Flowers      Antique Rose Barbie from FAO Exclusives A vision of beauty and imagination representing a good mother or gentle person. This Barbie appears to have old-fashioned values or tastes but she is also a bit showy. (Rider-Waite)

King of Flowers      The Tango Set A rather formal figure, sometimes symbolizing a lawyer or politician, this king also appreciates the arts and things that move the emotions as well as reason. Here he is dancing a traditional yet passionate dance with Barbie. (Rider-Waite)
