ORANGE YOU SPECIAL (2007) 28" EM SEV EMO 10" (11" wingspan with an average petal width of 1.5" and petal length 6.125") This clear glowing orange spider with red chevron eye over light chartreuse throat is the first large flower to bloom in my garden each year, just 8 days after 'Stella De Oro'. That's special. It rebloomed for the first time here in 2007. The terminal Y sports one lateral and 23 buds. Has medium green leaves with only modest increase but is quick to recover from division. While it will lean if 2 or more blooms are open on a scape, it has never flopped even in near hurricane force winds. Makes large fans for a spider. Pod fertile with powerful pollen (it easily pollinated WILDEST DREAMS -- that's definitely special!). The pollen parent came from a package of seeds just marked "Mico." Spider ratio averages 4:1.[KINDLY LIGHT X (MICO x unknown)].
