  • Photographing the plant suffused with light like this can seem nice at thumbnail size but it's not really a good approach for encyclopedic purposes. The outer petals are completely white; there's no detail visible in them at all. This is a real problem for identification--for example, is the pink tinge on all the petals, but invisible in the outer ones because they're too bright, or is it only on some of them? I can't tell from this photograph. It seems a little out of focus, also. Chick Bowen 20:57, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
