- Weak oppose the present placement of the image in the article does not contribute a lot to the article. I would probably support it if it was the leading image of an article or had a prominent placement other than being in a gallery. Thistles are rather common flowers so it really has to stand out to deserve FP status. For example there are many nice photos of other Cirsium species: 1, . 2. Also, I am dubious about the species: the cirsium article lists Cirsium horridulum as the yellow thistle, but this flower is clearly purple/pink. Is it another one of those flowers that change colours drastically? Purpy Pupple (talk) 20:53, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
