*CRESCENT JUMP


*CRESCENT JUMP (Stamile,P.)  TET 068-E [Lavender Arrowhead X (Tetra Green Widow x Tetra Cerulean Star)] 36” EMRe. Ev. fr. emo. 9½” x 1¾” x 7/8”. 11” wingspan. 5-way branching. 20-25 buds. Strong erect scapes. Unusual form – crispate.  A big “thank you” to Rich Rosen and Bob Fosse for reminding me how much “dance” is in the spiders and unusual forms. Unlike the more static full forms, spiders seem to move and dance in the garden. I have taken two names from Bob Fosse’s 12 Step Program, CRESCENT JUMP and TEACUP FINGERS. Truly when CRESCENT JUMP first bloomed I mentally did a “crescent jump”. (This fat old body would not allow the real thing.)  CRESCENT JUMP is a beautiful lavender pink unusual form. It has been our most important parent for clear pink and rose pinks. This wonderfully pinched, quilled and twisted crispate gives some of the funkiest seedlings in the garden. Along with BALI WATERCOLOR, it also is one of our best parents for patterns in the spiders – especially in the pinks. A great new color in the tet spider palette. Easily fertile both ways…..$100.00
