*SKINNY DIPPING (Stamile,P.) TET 949-A
{Purple People Eater X [(Star Of India x Tetra Green Widow) x (Swirling
Spider x Morticia)]} 32 ERe. nofr. emo. sev. 12. 3-way
branching. 18 buds. Twisted crispate spider. This claret purple true
spider boasts a 7 petal length and a 1.4 petal width making for a spider
ratio of 5.0:1. SKINNY DIPPING and WEB BROWSER are the first
two registered TET classic spiders that I know of. With a wingspan
of 14 and a natural diameter of 12 SKINNY DIPPING is huge. Scapes
are strong and erect and hold the monster blooms on both bloom and rebloom.
Blooms are marked with a huge grass green throat which spills well out
onto the petal. Both petals and sepals twist and curl and quill.
The most exciting thing about SKINNY DIPPING is the sense of motion it
imparts in the garden. Like a huge windmill in motion SKINNY DIPPING
always seems to be in action. A wonderful addition to the beginning
class of tet spiders. Fertile both ways but a difficult pod parent
