  • Support I don't like the background but won't go against unanimous vote. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:39, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've talked myself around to Support: this is the only image in the article photographed from a angle that shows the stake and pistils. I was hesitant as, for its size, that article is very stuffed with images, and the backlighting felt like the sort of gimmicky trick more suitable to Commons than here. But it's actually justified for a pendulous flower. I would gently suggest that this should probably have been in the nomination rationale, though.
