*Emerald Tarantula

*EMERALD TARANTULA (Pierce G) 2012-CD (Rolling Raven x Tetra Rose F. Kennedy) EMre SEV/DOR emo 36” 11.5-12” flower span, UF Cascade, 5 way branching, 35 buds.
I should have taken a picture.  I took EMERALD TARANTULA which is a giant Red self UF Cascade to the potted area and compared her to all the big previous spider type introductions and I was shocked at HOW MUCH BIGGER EMERALD TARANTULA was than all of them.  It was like a horse matched up to a Giraffe.  And keep in mind the Tetra Rose F. Kennedy prodigy has that heavy substance so it made the others look wispy; it was a shock considering I had always thought our past spiders were so big.  Well no longer.  Really you can’t see it in a photo but EMERALD TARANTULA is GIGANTIC, and is pod Fertile outside!!!  Heavy wax like substance with lots of green.  Twice the substance of a regular Tetraploid.    My only extremely limited daylily this year.  Fertile both ways.  Should grow anywhere in the country. Have fun.
