STARMAN’S VOYAGE - # 94-49 Dormant, dip.41"9"M.(RAINBOW SPANGLES X WILLIE BELLE) This huge, compelling light lavender purple flower with some rosy highlights is supported by very tall, strong scapes which stand quite straight here. This is an Exotic Form and not a spider, but it looks spidery. Its ratio = 2.8/1. An outstanding feature of the flower is its huge, very bright green throat with unique yellow midribs running through the green part only. The green throat extends about 1/3rd way out the flower. Petalloids are slightly ruffled. Petals recurve at the ends, while sepals may recurve, pinch, or twirl slightly depending on the random variability the day brings. 3-way branching supports a bud count in the seedling bed of about 15.

ANDROID - # 94-16 Semi-evergreen.dip.42"7.5"M. [BLACK PLUSH X FOL DE ROL] Dark and exotic is this commanding burgundy purple classic spider with an excellent ratio of 5.9:1. Its huge chartreuse throat extends out 1/3rd of the flower, starting out bright green, then turning to chartreuse, and then to yellow as it meets an almost imperceptible eyezone which is only slightly darker purple. Petal midribs are yellowish and more prominent than those on the sepals. Both petals and sepals recurve at the ends, while the petals twist slightly. It has 3-way branching and a bud count of 10+. Sun resistant. A dramatic flower that makes a statement.

KIRSTEN’S CORSAGE - # 94-30 Dor.dip.ML.37"7+" [WILLIE BELLE X LOLA BRANHAM] Vivacious, rosy purple flower with a huge chartreuse throat and smashing, deep magenta eyezone. This is a baroque or flamboyant EXOTIC FORM that looks spidery simply because its petals are narrow at the center of the flower[Ratio = 3.25:1]. On certain days the flower increases in ratio to become a spider variant. The huge chartreuse throat extends over 1/3rd of the way out from the heart. Branching is 4-way, and the bud count is 13. It is somewhat reminiscent of a cattleya orchid. PICTURED IN THE SUMMER 1997 ISSUE OF THE DAYLILY JOURNAL
