Give botanical and seasonal images more than mood
Build from recognizable plant forms, seasonal cues and coherent light rather than relying on haze and palette alone.
Name the observed subject
Decide whether the lead subject is a flower, leaf, fruit, branch or whole plant. If leaf arrangement, petals or growth habit matter, leave enough visible area to inspect them. Blur and decorative typography must not cover the defining features.
Make the season observable
Season can appear through light angle, temperature, moisture, wind and plant condition, but the cues should agree. Choose two or three coherent signals before deciding on a background and palette.
Plan negative space and text
If a poster needs a title, reserve a text zone away from the focal point. Generate a clean image base and add verified dates and names afterward. A gallery image does not need a large white explanation panel by default.
Do not confuse imagination with botany
Generated leaves and flowers can combine traits from different species. Verify named plants and ecological claims against reliable references; otherwise identify the image as an imaginative interpretation.
Observable plant form and seasonal evidence give the mood something to rest on.
