Prompt
Botanical illustration plate in the style of a 19th-century scientific herbarium, watercolor on warm off-white cotton paper. Plant: {{plant}}, shown life-size with anatomical detail: one complete flowering stem in the center and, around it, separate studies of {{details}}, arranged with generous white space. Delicate graphite underdrawing visible in places, transparent layered washes, fine dry-brush leaf veins, subtle color variation and no black outlines. Even, shadowless light, as if the original had been scanned. Colors true to the real plant. Background: {{background}}. Format {{format}}, centered and balanced composition, with a blank lower margin for a handwritten label added later. Museum-print quality, high detail. No text, no frame.How to use it
- Give the species by its common name and, if you know it, the scientific name (e.g., "pomegranate, Punica granatum").
- Pick two or three details for the studies: flower cross-section, fruit, seeds, root or leaf underside.
- Compare the result with real photos: AI can get the number of petals or the leaf shape wrong.
- Add the plant name in the bottom margin with a design tool.
Usage example
Plant: pomegranate (Punica granatum) · Details: an open fruit with seeds, a flower cross-section and one leaf · Background: plain paper · Format: vertical 3:4.

Can I print it large?
