Talk:Wahlenbergia gloriosa

This edit from User:NathanHurst on 08:38, 6 December 2005 (AEDT) suggests the picture: is not a Gloriosa but a Wahlenbergia stricta. For reference, we might have a gallery of images that are not gloriosa. As well as the above image to the left, , this image (to the right) is also not a gloriosa but a W. stricta. because: ''a) the habit is wrong, W. gloriosa forms a mat with short flower stalks, W. stricta forms a mound with talk flower spikes. b) the colour is wrong. Yes, W. gloriosa is hard to photograph, but the colour should still be darker c) I think the 'style' should be 1 or two lobes rather than 3. d) the vegetation is wrong, in all the places I've seen it in the wild it is growing with either alpine poas (such as fawcettae or heimata) or in shaded mountain forest on rock faces. e) the petals are flattened rather than tubular. and the killer: f) Red Hill is way to dry and hot for gloriosa :-('' (comments by user:Nathan Hurst to user:A Y Arktos 20 November 2005) --A Y  Arktos 22:43, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I suggest you put your photo on the stricta page. I've finally found a gloriosa photo (the colour is a little off, oh well) and linked it. njh 23:25, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
