How to sign “Flowers” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Flowers” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Press your fingertips against your thumb to form a flattened O handshape.
- Bring the flattened O up beside one side of your nose.
- Touch lightly as if holding a blossom under your nose to smell it.
- Move the hand to the other side of your nose and touch again.
- Keep the hand relaxed and the palm angled down toward the face.
- Pair the sign with a pleasant expression, as if enjoying the scent.
Practice tip
One touch smells a single flower; touching both sides of the nose shows many.
