- Support Again a very original subject to me. We must not be living on the same planet (or I don't go out/travel/look around me enough ?) I'd have centered the subject a little bit more though. Benh 12:44, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- It's a native plant of the northeastern United States on a private estate that specializes in maintaining the natives species, sometimes ones that are very rare. I go out a lot on weekends to shoot plant photos for Wikipedia from various botanical gardens. The species are all identified on site, so it limits/eliminates the original research and increases credibility. -- Ram-Man 12:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- This one is not native sensu strictu, though, as it is a patented hybrid (see below). This doesn't diminish the beauty or value of this picture of course... -- Lycaon 07:15, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Question Any chance for a species ID (there is only a genus name now!)? Lycaon 23:13, 17 May 2007 (UTC)- Support Aha found it myself: US Patent n°PP11051 says about Tiarella 'Cygnet': "The present invention relates to a new and distinct hybrid of Tiarella which originated as a cross-pollination of Tiarella cordifolia 'Dunvegan' and a selected seedling of Tiarella wherryi in the Saxifrage family, both unpatented cultivars.".

Neutral - A beatiful composition and a sharp and detailed image. Unfortunately, the right part of the background spoils what I belive might be a perfect shot. Alvesgaspar 09:28, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
