The artwork gives justice to the beauty of the Pokemon while also having a pleasant-looking background.
Not bad, especially in Aromatisse/Rainbow/Prism energy.
Competitively speaking, it's not that good. I mean yea, this set is giving stage 2s a lot of support in this set, that doesn't mean they are going to be as good as say nats-worlds 2011.(I hope they become viable so I can use Magnezone!) But great artwork, but it's pretty much a given for most cards nowadays to have great artwork.
A decent card for sure.
Might be good if there was a Fairy Pokemon with a prohibitively high attack cost, but M Gard doesn't mind the energy cost as it needs a bunch of energy anyway, and Xerneas exists, with one of the best Energy acceleration attacks in the format.
Couple with Aromatisse, Fairy doesn't really need lower attack costs. It needs more consistent attacks in the low end as there are few good Fairy attackers beyond EX Pokemon.

We didn't really need This ability for fairies, we needed something similar to NXD's Gardevoir, but with fairy energy.
"Each of your pokemon's Y energy counts as YY energy. You cannot apply more than one of this ability."
That would be amazing

I will add this card to my Fairy Deck with this awesome Ability so M-Gardevoir's Brilliant Arrow or Florges' Bright Garden will be easy to use.
It's okay. But the card was cool.

But without the damage, it's more of a stalling card. Could still get knocked out easily.
What about Florges-EX? Especially when you have Sky Field so expand your Bench and get the damage output of Bright Garden into OHKO level (at least for most non-Mega Evolutions). We saw this with Dimension Valley as well: while some price breaks were obvious, some were more subtle like how just needing less Energy in general was useful.
That'd also be very, very bland, boring and uncreative, especially considering all of these recent reprints [from BW] >_>
I don't really see the usefulness in this Florges. There have been some good Stage2's in this set, but spending three turns to bench something that lessens attack costs for just one type? The only non-fairy to benefit from that is prolly Goodra. I think there are better options, unless you want to make a funsies deck with Windy Mischief Whimsicott and this Florges, or something
I wonder why the artist chose to depict the red version [again] of Florges, instead of blue, orange, yellow, white...

Being a Stage 2 Level X hurts it, but the ability is neat.
