Expected more to be honest. But still not bad

Expected more to be honest. But still not bad
I have ordered a few packs of postcards on the topic of botanical illustration. And to be honest, that's not the best.All 100 images on cards are different: some of them are nice, other are not so. Detailing of images and depth of colors are also vary (maybe it depends on quality of originals, so understandable). Although the diversity of plants is huge, from all over the world.P.S. I attached photos with a few best postcards from the pack.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pretty Box Holding 100 Colorful Royal Horticulture Society Exotic Plants Postcards
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2018

The RHS truly succeeded beyond my expectations with their box of 100 Exotic Plants Postcards. Sturdiness of the cards is good, of course, but WOW! The coloring and depicting of so many gorgeous plants (my favorites especially are the water lilies and lotus, the fabulous orchids, and the equally outstanding cacti and succulents, some rare, in full bloom). I also have the "Flower Box" and the "Animal Box" (both Princeton Architectural Press), that each hold 100 postcards, and I think they are worthwhile -- but hands down, I'll take the RHS Exotic Plants PC's, and may have to buy another box for ones to send, for I can't imagine ever letting go of any in one complete set. Fellow Amazon shoppers looking for Postcards with beautiful horticultural art - I can only give my highest recommendation for these.

Gorgeous illustrations on thick card stock. Lines for address and stamp but no dividing middle line. Back of card has Latin name of plant and the artist's name.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the greatest quality and many of the illustrations are quite blah
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018

You're much better off purchasing "Botanicals: 100 Postcards from the Archives of the New York Botanical Garden" for the same price. Those cards are better quality and there are many many illustrations that are pleasing to the eye. This collection of "Exotic Plants" has some fairly ugly illustrations. The weight and texture of the cards is not of good quality. One card I received was only 3/4 of a card, so that was a glitch. I bought these to use as "Thank You" cards for my eBay customers. Unfortunately, I can barely find 50 cards in this collection worthy of sharing.

High quality cards. Thick and work well with sharpies. I didn't think any cards were inappropriate for Postcards to Voters because they are all very neutral. However, they aren't nearly as eye-catching as I was hoping for and care kind of boring. Some are even ugly.

The cards are pretty but the box they arrived in was not in good shape. I was disappointed because I keep the boxes for storage after I’ve sent all of the cards.
