When I was growing up, the studio audience used to cheer when Carnac the Magnificent (Johnny Carson) came to the last joke, and Carnac would curse them ... so keep that in mind if you're planning on cheering, but this list finishes up the flowering plant families. These are the malvids, including the cabbages (and everything that smells like cabbage), citrus fruit ... and the maple trees, eh? As always, a list of the image licenses is on the talk page, if that helps. Enjoy. - Dank (push to talk) 15:55, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The cabbage family includes broccoli, cauliflower, turnips and radishes." - any reason why cauliflower is singular but the latter two plural? Broccoli is probably OK as there isn't really a plural of that, but "cauliflowers" would be valid......
  • "The ornamental geraniums come from five species of Pelargonium, along with their many hybrids and cultivars"=> "The ornamental geraniums, along with their many hybrids and cultivars, come from five species of Pelargonium"
  • That's it! :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:04, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Done, and thanks. I removed cauliflower, since it looks so similar to broccoli. - Dank (push to talk) 01:24, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Support - true story, when my son was little he was offered cauliflower to eat and claimed it was disgusting even though he had never tried it before. So we told him it was "white broccoli" (he loved broccoli) and he then ate it quite happily :-D -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:21, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support I see no issues that need to be addressed. Good job. -- EN-Jungwon 08:57, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thx much, Jungwon. - Dank (push to talk) 12:08, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from HAL

[edit]
  • "trees, shrubs, vines and herbaceous perennials and annuals" -- could that first Hemingwayesque 'and' be replaced with a comma?
  • "allergic reaction for some people" -- 'in some people' seems more appropriate, but that may just be subjective and feel free to ignore.
    • How about "can sometimes trigger allergic reactions"?
  • "warm-climate zones" -- should that be hyphenated?
    • Does "in warm climates" work?
  • I'm assuming that there was no image for Biebersteiniaceae? etc.
    • I'd prefer no image to a bad image. The stock of available plant images is increasing rapidly, and I plan to come back in about a year and see how many of these blank spots can be filled in.

That's alls I got. I didn't realize Eucalyptus could be 300+ ft! ~ HAL333 02:21, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
