Talk:Lambertia formosa

message: I have the temerity to suggest an additional photograph of its habit or better still the habit of several mature shrubs well in focus and shown in their habitat (background). I'm very familiar with this beautiful plant in the field, in the hawkesbury sandstone region of greater Sydney. I know!—i know!—i should get out and do the work of the photography myself, instead of suggesting it to you people, who’ve done so much work on this article already. 
Sorry i do not have such a photo on hand to provide. Please take this comment as a compliment, as just a thought, from a field botanist on a really good plant article, as this is the immediate thing, of the few things, that i notice to further improve it. ——--macropneuma 11:44, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been traipsing around but it looks so daggy in open forest, just a rangy looking thing. I've seen some great compact plants in the wind-swept heathland at Catherine Hill Bay (see here and here, but they are not really typical. I'll take a look on flickr and possibly do some traipsing tomorrow....Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:37, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The best, most healthy and strong, plants that always come back, to visualise in my memory, when i think of Lambertia formosa, are in the magnificent valley below Belmore falls, southern highlands—quite a magnificent big walk—you may know—but not a short trip, especially only for a photo. However you could take thousands of magnificent plant photos in that very special place, eg. the special Libertia at the base of the falls and many more all around there, dracophyllums (? i forget if they’re there too). Mind you, i don’t know if the track (from the top of the falls) is still open. If need be, i can ask my family who live nearby in Kangaroo Valley. ——--macropneuma 13:09, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Habit photograph 

message: … beaut surprise! (—a pity the scan’s reproduction of the engraving is not perfect (they probably didn’t bother to lift out the lift out!), as it’s overlapping some text. i will discuss in due course, see that page (223) and scroll backwards to page 214). ——--macropneuma 14:02, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

message: How is this a featured article? It doesn't seem comprehensive of everything to me (although it looks like it should be a good article)! Gug01 (talk) 20:15, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: With some articles there is such a plethora of information that it is hard to distill it all into one article. With this one was there was not a lot of information out there, but we hope that we have done justice to summarising it all. If any new information comes to light that adds to the understanding of this species, we will be happy to include it.--Melburnian (talk) 21:31, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

text: what are you thinking it is missing? We searched alot for information so may be able to explain. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:36, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  In general, I really appreciated the article, but for some reason there was not as much information as most featured articles have. I am assuming that there just isn't as much information about this species than say, the lion or humans ourselves. I was just wondering and looked for clarification. Just keep a watch on this species, because I've seen countless articles demoted from featured rank status because of not being up-to-date. Gug01 (talk) 00:20, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
