Cirsium funkiae

Comments only. IMO the hook works even if you remove the word "funky" especially if you add quote marks to the first mention of the word. DYK that the newly named "Funky" thistle (pictured) honors the flamboyant Vicki Funk and the plant's funky appearance? I would choose the second pic as it shows the funky flower head and it is more eye catching. HTH. I think Jennifer A. needs her own article! and Vicky Funk's article should mention the honour given by her mentor. Victuallers (talk) 10:33, 27 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
I definitely welcome the alternative hook Victuallers! You are welcome to propose it, I don't mind! Also Jennifer Ackerfield definitely deserves her own article, if you wish take the initiative please do let me know! Ornithoptera (talk) 10:49, 27 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Its only a rephrase - you could just change the hook, but here is the alt hook. Jennifer Ackerfield would get an article but there is no picture available and I really want to encourage visible women. (She won't be "discovered" yet:-) ) Victuallers (talk) 11:04, 27 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Alt1 ... that the newly named "Funky" thistle (pictured) honors the flamboyant Vicki Funk and the plant's funky appearance?
@Ornithoptera: any objection to me using the specific epithet? I always get this inner delight at seeing wacky specific epithets (Zoosphaerium darthvaderi), although it might just be me... theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/they) 02:32, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
