• Oppose - On limited EV. It's not the main image on the page (it's buried in the gallery), also does not show much of the plant at all (heavily cropped), so there is no sense of scale. Mattximus (talk) 14:28, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

• @Mattximus: It's not the lead picture because species articles should indeed have the full species in the frame and this, as you point out, does not. However, none of the others have the detail of this one at full resolution, including this other FP of the species. Meh. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:14, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

• Neutral, a good, clear image, but doesn't really have any "wow" factor for me. As Mattximus notes, I'd ideally want to see the base of the plant as well. Bob talk 21:01, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
