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……………...$100.00
