Support - Very nice photo. ^{The flower itself is very clear. Does it matter that the background has no detail? Or is it better that way? It clearly makes the flower stand out more.} - CorinneSD (talk) 00:53, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support I notice a trend in this featured picture nomination process. Plant nominations only show the flower, which limits the EV as you are missing the bulk of the plant, and showing it at only a short time of the year. There is some bias, animal pictures showing only the head will get opposition, but it's ok for a plant. Nevertheless, a nice photograph. Mattximus (talk) 01:08, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- That's why we have three FP sections: flowers, fruits, and "other". It is damn hard to get a good picture of a whole plant, in my experience. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:40, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - one can't see the flower well, when a picture shows the whole plant. These pictures with a close up flower are very necessary when studying botanic, witch I did, I can only say they are vital in illustrating any plant. The students even had an own name on this, they called this bloom-porn. Hafspajen (talk) 09:19, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
