JURASSIC SPIDER - # 88-108. Dor.dip.32"10+"fr.M. [RADIANT MOONBEAM X PERSIAN PATTERN] The light rosy-mauve, chartreuse flowers bedeck this spider variant. [Ratio = 4.76:1] It is a bitone (almost a bicolor) with a deeper rose-purple band on its petals.

Between the eye and the green throat is a yellow turning to chartreuse area, while the inner throat and heart are deep green. The pale yellow, faintly brushed mauve sepals are very narrow, lightly ruffled, and curl at the ends, giving a very arachnid appearance. The huge flowers are widespread, diamond dusted, and lightly fluted. It has a bud count of 15. Makes fans of medium size. PICTURED IN THE FALL ‘96 ISSUE OF THE DAYLILY JOURNAL

LOLA BRANHAM - # 87-10. Dor.dip.ML.38"8" [GRAPE ICE X LILTING LAVENDER?? TAG LOST] Here is a smashing, huge EXOTIC FORM that is spidery, flamboyant, and baroque. This SPECTACULAR flower can be seen in the centerfold section of the NEW PLANTS ‘92 ISSUE OF FLOWER AND GARDEN MAGAZINE and the FALL '94 ISSUE OF THE DAYLILY JOURNAL. Flowers are greenish cream and lavender with twirling petals and sepals. Sepals appear cream with a wide strong lavender picotee. Petals are cream, too, with an inner edge band of paler lavender followed by an outside cream edge. The throat is green, turning to a greenish cream which extends out 1/3rd of the way into the Petaloids. The flower will stretch to 10.5 inches, but the twirling of the Petaloids reduces their overall length. 3-Way branching supports a bud count of 23. This cultivar does not make large fans. Do not feed with high nitrogen. Do not divide frequently. It usually increases very well in the 3rd or 4th year if left undisturbed. [The Ratio is 3.4:1] Fall Delivery... Double Fans....$30.00
