  • Support - clear crisp image of flower, composition nice too. Also better taxobox image....might just have to expand article now. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:24, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Can we be sure that a specimen grown in the Netherlands accurately represents the species? Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:30, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Answer: Helleborus orientalis with dotted flowers (the so-called 'Freckels') are often hand pollinated in the Netherlands because of the spots. This Helleborus orientalis is in my garden.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:51, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, but Helleborus orientalis appears to be a commercially developed product in Europe with many different colours and cannot therefore be representative of the native species. The image that previously illustrated the article is green and from Germany so is not suitable either. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:55, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What about if we change the label to "cultivated variety?" We (presumably) have Featured Pictures of dog and cat breeds (must check). what we have here is an obscure wild plant that has been bred and cultivated for centuries (much like a rose). I was planning on exoanding the article so we could show both pix FWIW...just hard to get info. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:50, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - Looks fine, and if Cas ends up expanding this article and covering the commercial/hand-pollinated version, this will have even better EV.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:42, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - now further over the bar for EV after the expansion so far done by Cas (thanks!).
