  • Weak support; focus isn't perfect, but I do like the "natural but not distrating" background. J Milburn (talk) 22:29, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question. Is this a definite ID? From the article: "It has...star-like yellow to brownish-red flowers". Doesn't seem to gel, or perhaps article is lacking some info? --jjron (talk) 12:59, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • According to this there is a rare yellow form. The Tasmanian Waratah or the Common Teatree are other examples that come in different colours. On the ID issue I am confident, google has plenty of matching examples. Noodle snacks (talk) 23:00, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    • I'm confident on this ID based on charcteristics shown in the photo that correlate with this reference:
      • Local in the mountains of Western Tasmania (Mt Eliza, Southwest National Park, Tasmania)
      • Superior ovary
      • Syle with thick recurved stigmatic branches
      • Half-nodding flower
      • Single terminal flower enclosed in paired, opposed, large leafy spathes. Melburnian (talk) 01:00, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • If I'm reading that right it suggests flower colour is "dark red-purple or yellow", so perhaps the article could be touched up with this info. --jjron (talk) 12:20, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: Very nice. Maedin\talk 21:23, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Nice image, good EV, far superior to other images of this subject on the internet. Melburnian (talk) 22:15, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
