On 17 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Exaltation of the Flower, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the female figures depicted in The Exaltation of the Flower (pictured) are wearing the tubular peplos garment and the kekryphalos hairnet typical for women in Ancient Greece? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Exaltation of the Flower. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
