Blumen sind mehr als Blumen: Sie kodieren historisch und kulturell bedingte Nachrichten, die entziffert und gelesen werden können. Was zeichnet eine solche Kommunikation durch die Blume aus? Der Band erkundet erstmals das Feld der kulturwissenschaftlich informierten Pflanzenkunde und fragt nach den Medien floraler Kommunikation. Die Beiträge aus Kunst-, Tanz- und Literaturwissenschaft, Medientheorie und Biologie untersuchen die kodierten Botschaften, die mit Blumen versendet werden, und fragen nach der Vermittlungsposition, die die Blume als hybrides Natur-Kultur-Objekt zwischen unterschiedlichen Wissensbereichen einnimmt. In drei Sektionen – Dissemination, Animation und Zirkulation – wird aufgezeigt, inwiefern das jeweilige Verständnis einer Blumenkommunikation durch die eingesetzten Medien bestimmt wird und welche Konsequenzen dies für die Konzeption des Vegetabilen nach sich zieht.
