A magnifying glass and a flower. You can look at (and enjoy) the flowers but (as per the second row) not pick them.
Oh thanks! I really didn't understand this one. Why didn't they draw an eye?
I'm with you on that. Magnifying glass is usually "inspect" versus "look" and an eye (perhaps with a dotted line connecting it to the flower) seems altogether more obvious.
That said, although the point of pictograms is to (hopefully!) be clear and multilingual, there might be cultural differences at play that mean I shouldn't jump to conclusions.
It does seem an unusual choice though.
Hah, I thought it was a head, "you may smell the flowers".
I see it.
