- Not doing a full reivew, but I wonder if it'd be possible to shorten the hook to make it sound less multi-part. Something like "has symbolized fertility, sacrednes, and death"? Sdkb talk 05:43, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Substantial article on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I like the many facets of the hook! For an image, I suggest File:Aquilegia_vulgaris_100503c.jpg, to recognize it more easily. Both are licensed and show well even in stamp format. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:45, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
