opens flat on cool days, but will recurve on hot days. The sturdy scapes
are branched four ways. It should be planted in the back of the border,
along a fence row, where height is needed, or as an accent plant. Bud count

ARACHNIDAN
TRAP - # 90-22. Dor.Dip.37"9"EM.[LAKE NORMAN SPIDER X FELLOW] Gorgeous,
strong lavender EXOTIC FORM with large yellow throat extending 1/3rd
out on the Petaloids forming a 6 pointed star. The yellow throat compliments
the lavender color. This is really an aberrant form, but it looks like
a spider because the sepals curl sideways and slightly back, while the
petals are pinched and recurve slightly. It is the rolling sepals that
give the arachnid look. Sun resistant, with 3-way branching. B.C.= 17.
