FLEUROP is a new guide to deciphering the 'Fleurop list', showing photos of fake plants with their corresponding national flag ribbons.
The 'Fleurop list' is a list of codenames used by the German secret service, the BND, to identify friendly countries that it spied on using plant names (which recently caused a major scandal).
This list shows how everyone in Europe has always spied on everyone else. It also shows clichés and images used at the highest level between states: Why is the code name for Turkey a hemp plant, but the code name for the US a flowering hydrangea?
