Hi, I came by to promote this. Could you provide a cite for the common name? Also, the inbox image caption says it "grows on a broom" — is this correct? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 13:06, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Done, and wikilinked. It's a handsome plant isn't it? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:48, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: I guess so, but it's not clear to me which is the plant. Is it the thin straight one growing in the middle? Restoring tick per KAVEBEAR's review. Yoninah (talk) 13:52, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: if you'd like an image slot, I'd suggest using one of those bright red images instead. Yoninah (talk) 13:53, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

@Yoninah: It's that spike just left of centre. I don't fancy using any of the red images, and if you don't want to give it an image slot, so be it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
