LEMON LIME TWISTER
(Benz)
tet 40" M. Ev. (Risen Star X Boney Maroney) I normally don't venture into the spider arena as this field is so heavily dominated by the top contenders, but still, good yellow variants are few and far between. I was musing one day that the 2 top yellow tet variants BONEY MARONEY and RISEN STAR were directly related by virtue of their induced pedigrees. BONEY MARONEY came from a single seed Ken Kehl had been able to coax from his very difficult to use chimeric Tet. KINDLY LIGHT, and Dick Webster had confided to me that RISEN STAR had Tet. GARDEN PORTRAIT as its pollen parent. Now as I daydreamed about seeing a long cross of the two sole introductions from these 2 renowned induced sister seedlings, a problem arose…both cultivars are nearly pod-sterile. So…after using every trick in the book, and making thousands of carefully tagged crosses, I obtained 35 seed. 28 grew and I left these undisturbed for 3 years, and 2004 I selected two of these for introduction. LEMON LIME TWISTER, is a full sib to last year's EL CONDOR, but a flower of much narrower form and superior color. Blooms are a twisting star shape, reminiscent of BONEY MARONEY, only a full inch larger and also just a little narrower-always measuring a true 4:1 or better. Some blooms had petals 61Ú4 inches long that were only 13Ú8 inches wide….you do the math. Color is a soft lemon-yellow with a strong greenish cast. Bud-count in the mid-twenties, occasional re-bloom, and fertile both ways: a very reticent pod-parent and as I don't delve into spider breeding very often, I haven't tried all the tricks…never even put this in the shade. I consider LEMON LIME TWISTER the single most important lemon yellow tetraploid spider available. Valuable both for its garden presence and due to its unique set of genetics. One of only two f-2 seedlings from the two most famous yellow spiders on Earth. $150.00
