  • Support nice picture, finally an interesting and useful flower photograph! Mononomic (talk) 01:26, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Stunning -- mcshadypl TC 05:59, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Very good quality and wonderful details. IMO its not properly placed in the articles, maybe some of the other pictures should be removed. Muhammad(talk) 06:54, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Per above - high quality image --Fir0002 10:40, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Nice picture but poor enc relevance, as it is superfluous in both articles. If any of the lead pictures there were to be replaced that should be with an image showing the whole plant. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:16, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Weak support after the explanations though I still think we need a better illustration of the whole plant as a lead image -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • For Gazania rigens each image shows a different sub species, which would only be easily differentiated by flower, therefore it absolutely has enc relevance. For Gazania I just ditched the poorer quality taxobox image in favour of this since you seem to have the idea that only having one image per thing per article is important.

      • The convention used is that the top image of an article should be the most representative one, and on that criterion, an image showing vegetative parts beats an image of a flower only, any day. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 23:22, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Noodle snacks has argued in favor of enc value, and the technicals are flawless. Showing the entire plant would distract from the flower.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 12:49, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
