Weak support; focus isn't perfect, but I do like the "natural but not distrating" background. J Milburn (talk) 22:29, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Question. Is this a definite ID? From the article: "It has...star-like yellow to brownish-red flowers". Doesn't seem to gel, or perhaps article is lacking some info? --jjron (talk) 12:59, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- According to this there is a rare yellow form. The Tasmanian Waratah or the Common Teatree are other examples that come in different colours. On the ID issue I am confident, google has plenty of matching examples. Noodle snacks (talk) 23:00, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
~~Conditional~~ Support per nom, pending ID confirmation (see above). --jjron (talk) 12:59, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm confident on this ID based on charcteristics shown in the photo that correlate with this reference:
  - Local in the mountains of Western Tasmania (Mt Eliza, Southwest National Park, Tasmania)
  - Superior ovary
  - Syle with thick recurved stigmatic branches
  - Half-nodding flower
  - Single terminal flower enclosed in paired, opposed, large leafy spathes. Melburnian (talk) 01:00, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm reading that right it suggests flower colour is "dark red-purple or yellow", so perhaps the article could be touched up with this info. --jjron (talk) 12:20, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
