Nice job, Victuallers. I also did some copyediting to move this clear of close paraphrasing. Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced. No close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. The current hook ref is AGF, but I'm just wondering if we could try something a little more hooky:- ALT1:

- ALT2: ... that Irish botanical artist Lydia Shackleton, who painted over 1500 botanical studies, helpfully taped a pressed flower or leaf to her work for comparison with the painted subject (example pictured)?
- While I'm including the image, I don't think it's necessary; in fact, without it, yours could be the last hook in the set, which is always well-read. Also be aware that very few hooks appear with the image suggested. But I've added the image anyway.
Since DYK rules prohibit me from approving my own hook, could another reviewer sign off on this? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:12, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
