Comment: It's a Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, like probably the entirety of Commons' unnamed Hibiscuses. These flowers are mostly a single species with all sorts of varieties, with a few exceptions. Cary "Bastique" Bass parler voir 17:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Not sure on that - H. syriacus is also very commonly cultivated. But even if they are mostly H. rosa-sinensis, unless they are wild-type plants (preferably photographed in the wild!), they should have a cultivar name - MPF 23:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The species is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, I got it confirmed from the Chinese Hibiscus article. But still I dont understand why the species name is so important, I am not a biologist to know the genus, species and all that, I am just a layman and I come across a beautiful pic and nominate it :) --Nvineeth 09:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I agree that genus and species labels are desirable but should not be required for featured status. Fg2 01:40, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support with or without genus and species identification. Fg2 01:40, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose A nice picture, but not more. Macro pictures of garden flowers can be taken with great controll over circumstances, and thus I think they need to be close to perfect to be featured. In this the dof is lacking slightly, in the very focus of the picture at that. It may not be a simple task to avoid that, but still a requirement to get a pro-vote from me. /Dcastor 23:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose. No cultivar and not an exceptional flower pic. --Dschwen 15:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
