Botanical art prints.
Botanical art comes in three kinds: paintings (bouquets, still life, flowers in oil and watercolour), illustration plates (one plant on white, the Kew and Redouté tradition) and posters (graphic leaves and line drawings). Decide which you want first. The shops split the same way.

Questions
What is the difference between botanical illustration and botanical painting?
Illustration records one plant on a white ground for identification, the Kew and Redouté tradition. Painting sets flowers in light and space: bouquets, still life, the garden. Both print well; they hang differently.
What paper should a botanical print be on?
A named archival paper. Textured matte such as Hahnemühle German Etching for paintings and watercolour; smooth cotton such as Photo Rag for fine line and photography.
Are botanical prints on Etsy hand painted?
Some are. Etsy allows AI-generated work with disclosure, so check for a named medium, a body of work and the disclosure inside the listing before you buy.
