Created by HalfGig (talk). Self-nominated at 18:38, 14 February 2017 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Nominated two days after creation, and just over 1500 bytes, satisfying length and date criteria. The source text refers to "petal lobe anthocyanin pigmentation" polymorphism, but the article only states "petal lobe polymorphism"; is there a reason for the use of the more general statement? Can you clarify the term "duplication" in the quotation; is this gene duplication or chromosomal duplication? (Perhaps remove the quotation, rephrase, and provide a link for duplication and "trans-regulatory mechanism".) In "Its characteristics in nectar and petal shape...", the source refers more specifically to "corolla", not just petal; should this be mentioned in the text? I've added several links to the article - can you please ensure they are correct, and if not, update them? Image is properly licenced and created by uploader, and is suitable at the scale needed for DYK. Hook is short and cited, but I don't think it will generate many views for the article. Perhaps you can mention other species that have cyanidin (with ref, of course), or perhaps that the colouration is derived by a different mechanism from other species in the genus.
