 * Support as nominator --Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:30, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Has wow factor (something I think we should be focusing on more...) . Aaadddaaammm (talk) 15:39, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Support with kvetching. OK, looks like a common flower.  And a nice shot.  Articles are very lcking in words though.  Also, I really think for plant articles we should show the whole plant as well (and have more FPs of the whole plant).  We lose a trememdous amount by only having flower closeups all the time.  Like just having the head of a bird.  TCO (reviews needed)  16:39, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Changed my mind. I just think we have enough flower shots and not enough plant shots.  3 blooms is not well illustrating the subject (used in article for whole plant).  If this were for an article on flowers or the structure of the flower or the like would feel different.TCO (reviews needed)  12:43, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Support It is very difficult to get a featured quality picture of a whole plant, so said pictures have been selected against. I haven't taken any plant pictures for quite a long time, but a whole plant picture (which doesn't need to be a great photo) linked to from the image page would add value for all pictures of this type.

 * Oppose three centered overlapping flowers on an image with shallow DOF and a disturbing background aren't featured imo --kaʁstn 22:03, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
 * This image seems similar to current FPCs in the category Featured_pictures/Plants/Flowers  Pine (was GreenPine)  talk 02:39, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Good enc., and I think that DOF is sufficient.  Spencer T♦ C 05:14, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
