(Murphy 2012)    36" ML   6.5" Dormant  Diploid  Spider

An apt name for this brilliantly colored cherry red spider with a crimson star next to its yellow throat. As saturated a color as I have in the garden, EMO, and sunfast at 100F. I selected through this entire cross of 100 for blacks and reds that were completely sunfast and this was the result. One or two branches and 20 buds, with moderate budbuilding let this one bloom for about 6 weeks. Out of EGGPLANT ESCAPADE  by CHIEF BLACK HAND.   Fertile.

40"  MRe  7.5"  dormant diploid, extended.

Unusual form, cascade.

This light pink-cream with a bright rose-purple feathered eye is tall, well-branched (3-4 way) with lots of buds.  It has an extended bloom season, and often reblooms.  It is a CMO, open on cold mornings, and has good substance even late at night.  It stands up through 90-100 degree days and rain.  It is consistently showy and dependable.  It is named after Jessie Cohen, a daylily friend who had a great garden and gave me much encouragement and support.  It is a great pollen parent (but hard to set seeds as a pod parent), passing on the eye and great plant habits to many seedlings.   Probably out of Flight of Orchids.  ONLY 2 PLANTS TO SELL.
