At GetBoard HQ we endearingly call this game 'Flower Realms' as it feels similar... somehow... to one of my all time faves 'Star Realms' but has no battling. Instead, you cultivate or plant your flowers in garden features to generate the most appealing garden to defeat your opponent.

Botany: War of the Posies is a deck building game where you take on the role of an esteemed head gardener for a celebrated botanist who perpetually returns from expeditions with rare and exotic specimens from around the globe. You declare war against neighboring head gardeners to create the most elaborate garden.
In War of the Posies, each player will cultivate their own unique deck of cards, starting from the same base decks, by adding cards they purchase during the game using the they gain by playing cards. They will also acquire Garden Features where they can plant Flowers to earn Reputation. During the game, you will always draw cards from your own personal deck, and discard them into your own personal discard pile.
Plant flowers and add features to your garden. Or, plant a poisonous flower in your opponent's garden (before he does it to you).
As soon as a player has completed 7 Reputation worth of Garden Features, the game will end and the player with the most points wins.
This is a standalone game set in the world of Botany.
